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 of a TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh Canada With your face sketched on it twice You are in my blood like holy wine You're so bitter and so sweet I could drink a case of you I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil But I'm drawn to those ones that ain't I remember the time you told me, you said, "Love is touching souls" Well surely you touched mine Part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time You're in my blood like holy wine You're so bitter baby and so sweet I could drink a case of you And still I'd be on my feet I'd still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your devils, she knew your deeds And she said, "Go with it, and stay with it, But be prepared to bleed" You're in my blood like holy wine You're so bitter baby and so sweet I could drink a case of you, of you, darling Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet --- A Case of You - k.d. lang
