Um dia muito especial (e muito respeitável)


A Case of You

Just before our love got lost, you said:
"I am as constant as a northern star", and said,
"Constantly in the dark, where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster, in a blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada...Oh Canada...And your face sketched on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd 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 drawn to those who ain't afraid
I remember the time you told me "Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time

You are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling
And 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
She said "Go to him, stay with him if you can...But be prepared to bleed"

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