[Verse 1] Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as the northern star And I said, Constantly in the darkness Wheres that at? If you want me Ill be in the bar On the back of a cotton coaster In the blue T.V. screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh, Canada With your face sketched on it twice [Chorus] In my blood like holy wine Taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet Well, I could drink a case of you, darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet [Verse 2] Oh, I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints Im frightened by the devil And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid I remember that time you told me Love is touching souls Surely you touched mine Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time [Chorus] My blood, my holy wine Tastes so bitter, bitter and so sweet Well, I could drink a case of you, darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet [Bridge] I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your devils and your deeds And she said, Go to him, stay with him But be prepared to bleed [Chorus] My blood, my holy wine Tastes so bitter, bitter and so sweet Well, I could drink a case of you, darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet [Outro] Well, I could drink a case of you, you, darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet
