Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Honey, 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 the 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
And I'd still be on my feet
Still be on my feet

Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints and
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm, yes, I'm drawn to those that ain't afraid, yeah

And I remember when you told me that night
You said, "Love is touching souls"
And surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you flows out of me
In these lines from time to time
And now you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Now I could drink a case of you
And I would still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my
You're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Now I could drink a case of you
I would still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet
