Lyrics

[00:06] Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
[00:21] Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
[00:38] Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
[00:53] I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed.
[01:12] It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
[01:26] It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.
[01:41] It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give.
[01:56] And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live.
[02:15] When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
[02:28] And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
[02:43] Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
[02:57] Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.
