Blood And Fire

Indigo Girls · Indigo Girls [1989]

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



Blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold

And my nights of desire are calling me back to your fold

And I'm 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

Give back as much as I need and still have the will to live

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

But I feel forsaken, like the things I, I gave away



And blood and fire are too much

For these restless arms to hold

And my nights of desire are calling me back to your fold

And I'm 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

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 are calling me back to your fold

And I'm 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, baby baby?

Whet my fire with your love
