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      Chorus:   Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine   You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet   Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling   And I'd still be on my feet   I'd still be on my feet      Oh, I am a lonely painter   I live in a box of paints   I'm frightened by the devil   And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid   I remember that time you told me   "Love is touching souls"   Well surely you touched mine   'Cause part of you pours out of me   In these lines from time to time      Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine   You taste so bitter and so sweet   Oh I could drink a case of you   I could drink a case of you, darling   And I'd still be on my feet   I'd 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, you are in my blood like holy wine   You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet   Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling   And I'd still be on my feet   I'd still be on my feet.
