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 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

I could drink a case of you my darling

And I would still be on my feet

Oh I will 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

It is so bitter bitter and so sweet

I could drink a case of you my darling

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 care

But be prepared to bleed

Oh blood you're in my blood you're my holy wine

Your'e so bitter bitter and so sweet

I could drink a case of you my darling

Still be on my feet

I would still be on my feet
