Kiki Dee - A CASE OF YOU Lyrics

just before our love got lost you said,

"i am as constant as the northern star."

and 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 cotton coaster

in the blue T.V. screen light

i drew a map of Canada

oh Canada

with your face sketched on it twice.


in my blood like holy wine

you taste so bitter and so sweet

well, I could drink a case of you, darling

and I would still be on my feet

i would 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 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.


my blood

my holy wine

tastes so bitter and so sweet

well 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 devils and your deeds

and she said, "Go to him, stay with him

but be prepared to bleed"


my blood

my holy wine

tastes so bitter and so sweet

well I could drink a case of you, darling

and I would still be on my feet

i would still be on my feet
