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 carton 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 and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling

I would still be on my feet

Oh, 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 ones that ain't afraid

I remember the time that you told me

Love was touching souls

But surely you touched mine

'Cause part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

You're in my blood, you're my holy wine

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling

And I would still I'd be on my feet

Oh, 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

You're in my blood, you're my holy wine

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling

And I would still be on my feet

Oh, I would still be on my feet
