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, babe, 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

I'm looking for someone who can take as much as I give. And give back as much as I need and still have the will to live.
I quote this line every time somebody tells me or insinuates that I am "too much".
This is the song that opened my heart, my soul, my ears and my eyes to what it means to be an artist and what it means and looks like when a singer has an HONEST connection to a song. Memory lane, but thank you Amy. I went on to be a huge fan and became a diverse listener of music, but this is my cornerstone.
Indigo Girls are forever amazing! I just love this song! Amy Ray has such an incredible, passionate, raspy voice....only comparable to Melissa Etheridge....I am always gonna be their most favorite fan!!!
I saw these ladies in 1989 for this tour. Just two INSANELY talented women with acoustic guitars and tons of passion and soul. It doesn't get a whole lot better than this!
Pure passion! God I love her voice, the rasp, the little cracks that add so much character and make her sound so distinctive, and a vibrato that makes you melt. This is REAL music folks!
