A Case of You Lyrics
A Case of YouWords & Music by Joni Mitchell
As performed by Allison CroweJust 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 barOn 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 twiceOh 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 feetOh 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 timeOh 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 feetAnd 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 bleedYou 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
