BLOOD AND FIRE
(Amy Ray)

Indigo Girls





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
