A Case of You (Blue sessions demo) Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

Just before our ship got lost, you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "You′re just as silly as a northern fish
And if you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster pad
That didn′t make me laugh at all
I drew a map of Canada, oh, Canada
And I charted our last squall

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paint
I'm frightened by the devil
And I′m scared to death by saints


I remember when you told me "love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine, you know
′Cause part of you pours out of me
In black and white designs

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman who had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay if you can
But be prepared to bleed"

Oh, but you are in my blood, you are my holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I′d still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
