Tom Baxter - A Case Of You

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star."
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.

You're in my blood like holy wine
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.

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.

Do you remember that time you told me
You said, "Love is touching souls."
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Cause you're in my blood like holy wine
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.

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds.
And she said, "Go to her, stay with her if you can
Oh, but be prepared to bleed.
She's in your blood, she's your holy wine
She'll taste so bitter and so sweet
But you could drink a case of her
And still you'd be on your feet"
I would still be on my feet.
