Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And i said, constant in the darkness

Wheres that at?
If you want me i'll be in the bar
Oh i could drink a case of you darling

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 aint 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


Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

Oh i could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still i'd be on my feet

And 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
Color go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed

Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh i could drink a case of you darling

Still i'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet
