A Case of You Lyrics

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

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 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 I’m drawn to those that ain’t 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 you’re, 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, you’re 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
