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
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, 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.
