A Case of You

Just before our love got lost you said

"I am as constant as a northern star"

And said, "Constant in the dark

Where's that at?

If you want me I'll be in the bar"



On the back of a cartoon coaster

In a blue TV screen light

I drew a map of Canada

Oh Canada

And 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

Still I'd 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 drawn to those who ain't afraid

I remember when 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



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

I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd 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 and your deeds

She said

"Go to him, stay with him if you can

But be prepared to bleed"

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

Still I'd be on my feet

I'd still be on my feet
