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 |
|
You taste so bitter and so sweet |
|
And I could drink a case of you, my darling |
|
And I would still be on my feet, I would 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 the time you told me, you said, "Love is touching souls" |
|
Well 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 |
|
So bitter, bitter and sweet |
|
And I could drink a case of you, my darling |
|
And I would still be on my feet, I would 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 |
|
But be prepared to bleed" |
|
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine |
|
So bitter and so sweet |
|
And I could drink a case of you, my darling |
|
And I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet |
