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

Still i'd 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

And i would still 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
