I was looking for one of the most unabashedly romantic songs I've heard, but this one decided to be the one I posted instead. Harrod and Funck, "Ashes". Enjoy.

I'm an expert in nothing except train wrecks and soulmates,
And fine lines and crap shoots and hurricane fate.
A celebration of clutter, I cannot deny it, from ashes...

Well I never fell in love, but I stepped in it twice.
I look for shifting planets on the day she arrives.
Playing king of the hill, skipping stones in the desert, from dust to dust...

If you build a bonfire, watch me drink and dance in the moonlight,
I'll feel the heat from your wedding ring.
Sweet relief underneath my crumpled skin.

So you're an expert in everything from embryos to empires.
Well lately I'm as dark as a polar night.
Everything I hope seems to crumble around me, from ashes to ashes...

If you build a bonfire, watch me drink and dance in the moonlight,
I'll feel the heat from your wedding ring.
Sweet relief underneath my crumpled skin.

If you see me, you'll know me by tired eyes.
And though I've forsaken you, it's dust to dust...

If you build a bonfire, watch me drink and dance in the moonlight,
I'll feel the heat slip from your wedding ring as it drops in the bonfire.
I'll be thirsty and crippled in the moonlight.
I'll burn my hand on your wedding ring.
Sweet relief underneath my crumpled skin.
