A Case Of You

Just before our love got lost you said

"I am as constant as the 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

In my blood like holy wine

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Well, I could drink a case of you, 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 that time you told me

"Love is touching souls", surely you touched mine

'Cause part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

My blood, my holy wine

Tastes so bitter and so sweet

Well, I could drink a case of you, 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 devils and your deeds

And she said, "Go to him, stay with him

But be prepared to bleed"

My blood, my holy wine

Tastes so bitter and so sweet

Well, I could drink a case of you, darling

And I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet
