Just before our love got lost you said"I am as constant as a northern star"And I said, "Constantly in the darknessWhere's that at?If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coasterIn the blue TV screen lightI drew a map of CanadaOh, CanadaWith your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wineYou taste so bitter and so sweetOh, I could drink a case of you, darlingAnd I would still be on my feetOh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painterI live in a box of paintsI'm frightened by the devilAnd I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told meYou said, "Love is touching souls"Surely you touched mine'Cause part of you pours out of meIn these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wineYou taste so bitter and so sweetOh, I could drink a case of you, darlingStill I'd be on my feetI would still be on my feet
I met a womanShe had a mouth like yoursShe knew your lifeShe knew your devils and your deedsAnd she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you canBut be prepared to bleed"
Oh, but you are in my bloodYou're my holy wineYou're so bitterBitter and so sweetOh, I could drink a case of you, darlingStill I'd be on my feetI would still be on my feet
