Just before our love got lost you said,
|
"I am as constant as a northern star."
|
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
|
Where's that at?
|
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
|
On the back of a cartoon coaster
|
In the blue TV screen light
|
I drew a map of Canada
|
Oh Canada
|
With your face sketched on it twice
|
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
|
You taste so bitter and so sweet
|
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
|
And I would still be on my feet
|
Oh I would still be on my feet
|
|
Oh I am a lonely painter
|
I live in a box of paints
|
I'm frightened by the devil
|
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
|
I remember that time you told me, you said,
|
"Love is touching souls"
|
Surely you touched mine
|
'Cause part of you pours out of me
|
In these lines from time to time
|
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
|
You taste so bitter and so sweet
|
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
|
Still, I'd be on my feet
|
I would still be on my feet
|
|
I met a woman
|
She had a mouth like yours
|
She knew your life
|
She knew your devils and your deeds
|
And she said,
|
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
|
But be prepared to bleed"
|
Oh but you are in my blood
|
You're my holy wine
|
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
|
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
|
Still I'd be on my feet
|
I would still be on my feet
|
