Joni Mitchell: "A Case Of You"

4/27/83
Den Haag, The Netherlands

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
because part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time
oh you are in my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
oh i could drink a case of you darlin'
and still i would be on my feet
i would still be on my feet
--joni mitchell (from "a case of you ")
