You know who you are but not what you are to me

[Be a soldier and fight for love Pt. 2]

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
And your face I sketched on it twice

I remember that time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'cos part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

I met a man
He had a mouth like yours
He knew your life
He knew your devils and your deeds
And he said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
but be prepared to bleed"

You are in my blood, you're my holy wine
You are so bitter, bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

- written and performed by Joni Mitchell
