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 |
|
with your face sketched on it twice |
|
|
|
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine |
|
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet |
|
Oh I could drink a case of you |
|
I could drink a case of you darling |
|
Still I'd be on my feet |
|
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 you are in my blood like holy wine |
|
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet |
|
Oh I could drink a case of you |
|
I could drink a case of you darling |
|
Still I'd be on my feet |
|
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 |
|
Oh but be prepared to bleed" |
|
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine |
|
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet |
|
I could drink a case of you darling |
|
Still I'd be on my feet |
|
Still I'd be on my feet |
|
I'd still be on my feet |
