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
