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

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 was touching souls.
But 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, 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 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
