歌曲 | Spit Of Love |
歌手 | Bonnie Raitt |
专辑 | Fundamental |
作词 : Raitt | |
There's a howlin at my window, baby | |
I hear him closin in | |
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent | |
Knows I'll let him in | |
He slinks in by me at the fire | |
More bitter than the cold | |
And it's a rage as old as Hades | |
That'll sputter on these coals | |
I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin | |
I'm roasting on the spit of love again | |
I never have believed you | |
But I stick around for more | |
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes | |
There's a darkness at the core | |
Well, it's got me slowly turnin | |
I'm basting on the bone | |
I'm skewered like some drunken fool | |
In juices all my own | |
Callin the Furies' carrion choir | |
Singin me back upon the pyre | |
I'm roasting on that spit of love again | |
You can call it what you want | |
But it's lyin just the same | |
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby | |
When your love's a cryin shame | |
And they're howlin in moonlight, baby | |
They're here to call my bluff | |
they're wonderin if there'll ever come a day | |
When I'll have finally had enough | |
I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin | |
I'm roasting on that spit of love again |

There' s a howlin at my window, baby | |
I hear him closin in | |
That greeneyed jackal' s got the scent | |
Knows I' ll let him in | |
He slinks in by me at the fire | |
More bitter than the cold | |
And it' s a rage as old as Hades | |
That' ll sputter on these coals | |
I' m callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin | |
I' m roasting on the spit of love again | |
I never have believed you | |
But I stick around for more | |
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes | |
There' s a darkness at the core | |
Well, it' s got me slowly turnin | |
I' m basting on the bone | |
I' m skewered like some drunken fool | |
In juices all my own | |
Callin the Furies' carrion choir | |
Singin me back upon the pyre | |
I' m roasting on that spit of love again | |
You can call it what you want | |
But it' s lyin just the same | |
There' s no mercy in these ashes, baby | |
When your love' s a cryin shame | |
And they' re howlin in moonlight, baby | |
They' re here to call my bluff | |

When I' ll have finally had enough | |
I' m callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin | |
