Spit Of Love Lyrics - Singles - Bonnie 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
