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're in my blood like holy wine |
|
You taste so bitter and so sweet |
|
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling |
|
And I would still be on my feet |
|
Oh, 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, but you are in my blood |
|
You're my holy wine |
|
You're so bitter |
|
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. |
