Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as a northern star."
And I said, "Constantly 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 Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd still 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 ain't afraid
I remember that 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
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd still be on my feet
I'd 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, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet.
"I am as constant as a northern star."
And I said, "Constantly 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 Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd still 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 ain't afraid
I remember that 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
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet.

I'm going against the grain here, but though I have always liked Joni's version, I have always admired Diana and this is my new favorite.
God this is so awful!!
Too slow, too low. I felt like I had to wait for every word that I know so well from Joni's original
Excellent cover & tribute to Joni M.
One of my favorite Joni songs, and one of my favorite jazz performers, but this combo is not working for me. The passion of the original is missing...as are Joni's pure, high notes from her youth. Always nice to hear something different though!
Delightful tribute to Joni M without her piercing lilt! 8/10
Lovely piano, but truly horrible singing.
In the arts there are those with real talent and originality and then there are the pretenders, this artist is a pretender, embarrassingly so in my humble opinion.
Absolutely lovely.
Start of this made me think of Bon Iver's version of "I Can't Make You Love Me", so I had to go listen to that.
Does not work for me. Too spoiled by the simplicity and vulnerability in the original.
