A Case Of You

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
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
By the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
Your face sketched on it twice
You're in my blood. You're my holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet

I could drink a case of you oh darling
I would still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

I'm a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened of 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
You're in my blood. You're my holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet

I could drink a case of you oh darling
I would still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

I knew a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
She said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But don't be afraid to bleed"

But you're in my blood
You're my holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, oh darling
I would still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet
