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
