Song Lyrics

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 of a TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada

With your face sketched on it twice
You are in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you
I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I am 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
I remember the time you told me, you said,
"Love is touching souls"
Well surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

You're in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter baby and so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And 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 devils, she knew your deeds
And she said,
"Go with it, and stay with it,
But be prepared to bleed"

You're in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter baby and so sweet
I could drink a case of you, of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
