INDIGO GIRLS - BLOOD AND FIRE lyrics

rate me

I have spent nights with matches and knives

leaning over ledges only two flights up

cutting my heart, burning my soul

nothing left to hold

nothing left but blood and fire.

You have spent nights thinking of me

missing my arms but you needed to leave

leaving my cuts, leaving my burns

hoping I'd learn.

But blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold

and my nights of desire they're calling me

back to your fold

and I am calling you, calling you

from 10,000 miles away

won't you whet my fire with your love

babe.

I am looking for someone who can take as much as I give

and give back as much as I need

you know and they still have the will to live - ah no

cause I am intense, I am in need

I am in pain, I am in love

and I feel forsaken you know

like the things I gave away

And blood and fire

are too much for these restless arms to hold

and my nights of desire they're calling me

back to your fold

and I am calling you, calling you

from 10,000 miles away

won't you whet my fire with your love babe.

I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

you know I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

and blood and fire

are too much for these restless arms to hold

and my nights of desire they're calling me

back to your fold

and I am calling you, calling you

from 10,000 miles away

won't you whet my fire with your love

babe

won't you whet my fire with your love

babe now

whet my fire with your love
