A Case of You

A Case of You - Jane Monheit/MITCHELL JONI

Just before our love got lost you said

"I am as constant as a northern star"

And I said "Constant 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 T V 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

And I could drink a case of you oh my darlin'

And I'd still be on my feet I'd 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 "Love is touching souls"

Oh surely you touched mine

'Cause part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine

So bitter bitter and so sweet

And I could drink a case of you oh my darlin'

And I'd still be on my feet I'd still be on my feet

I met a woman she had a mouth like yours

She knew 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 here in my blood like holy wine

So bitter and so sweet

And I could drink a case of you oh my darlin'

And I'd still be on my feet I'd still be on my feet
