A Case of You

Just before our love got lost you said
 I am as constant as a northern star
 And I said, "Constant 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
 And your face sketched on it twice
 Oh, you are in my blood like 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'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 I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
 Love is touching souls, surely you touched mine
 'Cause part of you pours out of me
 In these lines from time to time
 Oh and you are in my blood like holy wine
 You taste so bitter and so sweet
 Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
 Still I'd be on my feet, oh, I'd 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, be prepared to bleed
 Oh but you are in my blood like holy wine
 You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
 I could drink a case of you, darling
 Still I'd be on my feet, oh, I'd still be on my feet, ooh
