"A Case Of You" Lyrics

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 are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I would still be on my feet, I would 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 I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember the 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

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
So bitter, bitter and sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I would still be on my feet, 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"

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
So bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet
