A Case of You - Joni Mitchell

Song I am addicted to this week:

A Case of You by Joni Mitchell (1971 Blue

 

Just before our love got lost you said

I am as constant as a 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 cartoon coaster

In the blue TV screen light

I drew a map of Canada

Oh, Canada

With your face sketched on it twice

 

Oh you're in my blood like holy wine

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling

And I would still be on my feet

Oh 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, 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're in my blood like holy wine

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I would 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

But be prepared to bleed

 

Oh, but you are in my blood, you're my holy wine

You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I would still be on my feet

 

 

And for you Prince fans out there, he covers this a lot in concert... it is lovely.

Listen to a bit of A Case of U by Prince!

I'm a lonely poet,
living in a world of words.
