A Case Of You Lyrics - Singles - Allison Crowe

A Case of You 

Words & Music by Joni Mitchell 

As performed by Allison Crowe 

Just before our love got lost you said 

I am as constant as a Northern Star 

And I said, constantly in the darkness 

Wheres that at? 

If you want me Ill 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 are 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 

I would still be on my feet 

Oh I am a lonely painter 

I live in a box of paints 

I am frightened by the devil 

And Im drawn to those that aint afraid 

And I remember when you told me, you said 

Love is touching souls 

Well surely you touched mine 

Cause part of you pours out of me 

In these lines from time to time 

Oh youre, you are in my blood like holy wine 

You taste so bitter and 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 

I would still be on my feet 

And I met a woman 

She had a mouth like yours 

She knew your life 

She knew your devils and your deeds 

She said 

Go to him, stay with him if you can 

But be prepared to bleed 

You are in my blood, youre my holy wine 

You taste so bitter, baby, and you taste so sweet 

I could drink a case of you darling 

I would still be on my feet 

I would still be on my feet
