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 are in my blood like holy wine.
And you taste so bitter an d so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darlin'
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Oh, I'm 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 your soul
Surely you touched mine,
cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh but you are in my blood,
you're my holy wine
You taste so bitter babe,
bitter and so sweet
Until I could drink a case of you,
darling
Still I'd be on my feet,
I would still be on my
feet
I met a woman,
she had a mouth like yours,
she knew your lies,
she knew your devils and your demons 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 taste so bitter, babe,
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
Oh, oh, oh.
Ahh, ah, ah.
Thank you. you.
Thank we need is a campfire,
though, you know.
