A Case Of You - Joni Mitchell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YuaZcylk_o




Just before our love got lost you said

I am as constant as a northern star


Where's that at?

If you want me I'll be in the bar



On the back of a carton 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 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



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


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 taste so bitter 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



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, bitter 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
