Joni Mitchell — A Case Of You - Blue Sessions Demo

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus] 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
