Just before our love got lost you said |
|
I am as constant as a northern star |
|
And I said, "Constant 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 |
|
And your face sketched on it twice |
|
Oh, you are 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, oh, I'd 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 that 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 and you are 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'd 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, be prepared to bleed |
|
Oh but you are in my blood like holy wine |
|
You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet |
|
I could drink a case of you, darling |
|
Still I'd be on my feet, oh, I'd still be on my feet, ooh |
