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

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you

Darlin'

And still be on my feet

I'd still be on my feet

Oh, I am a lonely painter

Live in a box of paints

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

Surely you touched mine

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 yet taste so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you

Darlin'

And 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

She said

Go to him, stay with him if you can

But prepare to bleed

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

You taste so bitter

Taste so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you

I could drink a case of you

Darlin'

And still be on my feet

I'd still be on my feet
