A Case of You
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.
You're in my blood you're my holy wine
You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darlin'
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those, to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember the time you told me
You said, "Love is touching souls."
Surely you touched mine.
'Cause part of you pours out of me
And there's lines, there's lines from time to time.
Oh, you're in my blood, you're my holy wine
You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
And I would 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 deeds
And she said, "Go to him. Stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed."
Oh, you're, you're in my blood
You're my holy wine
You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you
Oh, I could drink a case of you
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I would still be on feet
I would still be on feet
