Just before our love got lost you say
I am as constant as the Northern star
You're constantly in the darkness
And if you want me, I'll be in the bar
On the back on a cartoon coaster
In a blue tube with green light
I drew a map of Canada, oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
You are in my blood like holy wine
It's bitter but you're so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet, and still be on my feet
I'm just a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
But I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember you told me, you told me, you said
You said love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
With these lines from time to time
You are in my blood like holy wine
It's bitter but you're so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet, and still be on my feet
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life and she said
Go to her, say what you can
But be prepared to please
You are in my blood like holy wine
It's bitter but you're so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I am as constant as the Northern star
You're constantly in the darkness
And if you want me, I'll be in the bar
On the back on a cartoon coaster
In a blue tube with green light
I drew a map of Canada, oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
You are in my blood like holy wine
It's bitter but you're so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet, and still be on my feet
I'm just a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
But I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember you told me, you told me, you said
You said love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
With these lines from time to time
You are in my blood like holy wine
It's bitter but you're so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet, and still be on my feet
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life and she said
Go to her, say what you can
But be prepared to please
You are in my blood like holy wine
It's bitter but you're so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
