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

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine

You're so bitter and so sweet

I could drink a case of you

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

I remember that time you told me, you said,

"Love is touching souls."

Well surely you touched mine

'Cause part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

You're in my blood like holy wine

You're so bitter baby and so sweet

I could drink a case of you

And 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, she knew your deeds

And she said,

"Go with it, and stay with it,

But be prepared to bleed."

You're in my blood like holy wine

You're so bitter baby and so sweet

I could drink a case of you, of you, darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I would still be on my feet
