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 at?
If you want me I`ll be in the bar.`
On the back of a cartoon coaster
in the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
with your face sketched on it twice.
In my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
well, I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
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
`Love is touching souls`
Surely you touched mine
`Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well 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 devils and your deeds
and she said, `Go to him, stay with him
but be prepared to bleed`
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
