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 TV screen light

I drew a map of Canada

Oh Canada

With your face sketched on it twice

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 darling

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 you said

"Love is touching souls"

But surely you touched mine

'Coz 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

Oh I could drink a case of you darling

And I would still be on my feet

Oh 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"

You're in my blood, you're my holy wine

You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you darling

And I would still be on my feet

Oh I would still be on my feet
