A Case of You

Just before our love got lost I said
“I am as constant as the northern star”
And you said, “constantly in the darkness?
Where’s that at?
If I want you you’ll be in the bar.”
Later on the back of a cocktail coaster
Beneath the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of Canada—oh, Canada—
With her face sketched on it twice.

She’s in my blood like holy wine
She’s so bitter and so sweet
And I had drunk a case of you
And I was still on my feet
I was still on my feet.

Oh she’s in my blood, she’s my holy wine
She’s so bitter, baby, and so sweet.
And I had drunk a case of you.
And I was still on my feet.
I was still up on my feet.
