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, 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 you told me you said, "love is 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're so bitter, 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
