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 Ca  - na  - da
 With your  face sketched  on it twice
 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
  (Intro Progression)
 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
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"
