| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 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
|
| And 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
|
| Color 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, bitter and so sweet
|
| Oh I could drink a case of you darling
|
| Still I’d be on my feet
|
| I’d still be on my feet
|
| Mmmmmmm |
