beth is gay? i have not heard that

anyway, real sweet song. not exactly sure what it means, but there is a certain tenderness to it. The title/first line always made me think about the fire of passion in a relationship. I was trying to think of good slow-dance songs for my older brother's wedding and this came to mind...though I'm not sure how appropriate it is. beth's voice is amazing, as always. I'm surprised it's not more ragged from the smoking.
