Just before our love got lost You said I am 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 With your face sketched on it twice
You’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet
I’m a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I’m frightened by the devil And I’m drawn to those who ain’t afraid
I remember the time you told me, You said love is touching souls Well surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me And these limes from time to time
You’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you 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
Your 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
