[Verse 1]
Just before our love got lost, you said
That "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"
And on the back of a cartoon coaster
And the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada, oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

[Chorus]
You're in my blood, you're like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
Oh darling, and I would still be on my feet
Yes, I would still be on my feet

[Verse 2]
And oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints and I'm
Frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones who ain't afraid
And I remember that timе you told me, you said
That lovers touch in souls and surely, you touchеd mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me in these lines
From time to time
[Chorus]
You're in my blood, you're like holy wine
You taste so bitter, so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
Darling, and I would still be on my feet
Yes, I would still be on my feet

[Bridge]
And 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"

[Chorus]
You're in my blood, you're like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
Oh darling, and I would still be on my feet
Yes, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I'd still be on my feet
Yes, I'd still be on my feet
