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
|
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
|
Oh I could drink a case of you
|
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
|
I remember that time that you told me, you said
|
Love is touching souls
|
Surely you touched mine
|
Cause part of you pours out of me
|
In these lines from time to time
|
|
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
|
And you taste so bitter but 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
|
And 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
|
Color go to him, stay with him if you can
|
Oh but be prepared to bleed
|
Oh but you are in my blood you’re my holy wine
|
Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and 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
|
|
Mmmmmmm
