 Just before our love got lostYou said I am constant as the 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 t.v. screen light
 I drew a map of Canada
 With your face sketched on it twice
 
 You’re in my blood like holy wine
 You taste so bitter and so sweet
 Oh, I could drink a case of you
 I would still be on my feet
 I would still be on my feet
 
 I’m a lonely painter
 I live in a box of paints
 I’m frightened by the devil
 And I’m drawn to those who ain’t afraid
 
 I remember the time you told me,
 You said love is touching souls
 Well surely you touched mine
 
 Cause part of you pours out of me
 And these limes from time to time
 
 You’re in my blood like holy wine
 You taste so bitter and so sweet
 Oh, I could drink a case of you
 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 prepared to bleed
 
 Your in my blood like holy wine
 You taste so 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
