A Case Of You – Passenger (with Stu Larsen & The Once) (originally by Joni Mitchell)
By
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 By the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh Canada Your face sketched on it twice You’re in my blood. You’re my holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you oh darlin’ I would still be on my feet I’d still be on my feet
I’m a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I’m frightened of the devil And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid
I remember that time you told me “Love is touching souls” Surely you touched mine ‘Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time You’re in my blood. You’re my holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you oh darlin’ I would still be on my feet I’d still be on my feet
I knew 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 don’t be afraid to bleed”
But you’re in my blood You’re my holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, oh darlin’ I would still be on my feet I’d still be on my feet
