Joni Mitchell - A Case of You Lyrics

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 TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada, oh, Canada
And I sketched your face on it twice

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh, and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling

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, 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
And you taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling

Still I'd be on my feet
I'd 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 him, stay with him if you can
Oh, but be prepared to bleed

Oh, but you are in my blood, you're my holy wine
Oh, and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you, darling

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