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?" "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 You're in my blood, you're my holy wine You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling And 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 And I'm drawn to those, to those ones that ain't afraid I remember that time you told me You said, "Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines, these lines from time to time Oh, you're in my blood, you're my holy wine You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you 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, be prepared to bleed" Oh, you're, you're in my blood, you're my holy wine You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you I could drink a case of you Oh, I could drink a case of you And I would still be on my feet Would still be on my feet Still be on my feet I would still be on my feet Would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet
