• 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 the hell’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 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
  I’d still be on my feet

  Oh I am a lonely painter
  I live in a box of paints
  And I’m, frightened by the devil
  And I’m drawn to those ones who ain’t afraid

  Remember that time you told me that
  “Love is touching souls”
  Clearly you touched mine Cause, part of you pours out in me
  In these lines from time to time
  You’re in my blood like holy wine
  You taste so bitter and, and so sweet

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

  Met a man
  who had a mouth like yours
  He knew your life
  He knew your devils and your deeds
  And he said
  “Go to her, and stay with her if you can
  But be, be prepared to bleed”

  You’re in my blood
  Like holy wine
  And you taste so bitter and so sweet

  And, I could drink a case of you, oh darling
  And I would still be on my feet
  I would still be on my feet
  Still be on my feet
