Just before our love got lost,
said I'm as constant as
a northern star
Constant in the darkness
Where's that?
If you want me, I'll be in the barn
You're in my blood like holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
If I could drink a case of you, darling
Then I would still be on my feet
I'd 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 that ain't
I remember the time you told me
you said love was touching souls
Well, surely you'd touch mine,
cause part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time
You're enough that I'd holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet,
and 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 my life,
she knew my devils and my deeds
And she said, go to her, stay with her,
but be prepared to bleed
You're in my blood like holy wine,
tastes so bitter an d so sweet
And I could drink a case of you,
darling
And I would still be on my feet,
I would still be on my feet
I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet,
I'd still be on my feet
you
