A Case Of You (Live)

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

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

You're so bitter, baby, but you're so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling

And 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 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're in my blood like holy wine

You're so bitter, baby, but you're sweet

I could drink a case of you, darling

Still, I'd be on my feet

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"

Oh, but you are in my blood, you're my holy wine

You're so bitter, baby, and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling

Still, I'd be on my feet

I would still be on my feet
