For my Sweetie

[Modem Butterfly]

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as the northern star,"
And I said, "Constanly 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 O Canada!
With your face sketched on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter, so bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
And I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to hose ones that ain't afraid
I remember the time you told me "Love is touching souls"
Well, surely you touched mine cause
Part of you pours out of me in these lines
From time to time

And you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter, so bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you darling
And 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 dreams
And she said, "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
You taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
And I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet.
