Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constant 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?re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you and
Still I'd 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 that 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
Chorus
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"
