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 of a TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada, oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
You're in my blood, like holy wine
You're so bitter an' so sweet
I could drink a case of you
An' 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
But I'm drawn to those ones that ain't
Remember the time you told me, you said
"Our love is touching souls"
Surely you've touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
An' these lines from time to time
You're in my blood, like holy wine
You're so bitter baby, an' so sweet
I could drink a case of you
An' still I'll be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet
I met a woman she had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils, she knew your deeds
An' she said
"Go with it an' stay with it
But be prepared to bleed"
'Cause you're in my blood, like holy wine
You're so bitter baby, an' so sweet
I could drink a case of you, of you darlin'
An' still I'll be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
