Just before our
love got lost,
you said I am as constant as the northern star
and I said constantly in the darkness
where's that end if you want me
I'll be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen lights
I drew a map of Canada,
oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
You're in my blood like
holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you,
my darling
And still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
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
Love is touching souls
Well surely you touched mine
Cause part of you
Pours out of me
In these lines from
time to time
You're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you
An d still I'd be on my feet,
I would still be on my feet.
You 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.
You're in my blood like holy wine.
You taste so bitter an d so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you,
my darling
And still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.
you
