A case of you

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

Oh, you are 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
Oh I would 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, you said
"Love is touching souls"
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, darling
And 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
Bbut be prepared to bleed"

But you are in my blood, you're my holy wine
You're so bitter, so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, oh darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
