Lyrics
0:14Some say love it is a river
0:22That drowns the tender reed
0:29Some say love it is a razor
0:38That leaves your soul to bleed
0:45Some say love it is a hunger
0:53An endless aching need
1:01I say love it is a flower
1:09And you it's only seed
1:20It's the heart afraid of breaking
1:28That never learns to dance
1:35It's the dream afraid of waking
1:42That never takes the chance
1:49It's the one who won't be taken
1:57Who cannot seem to give
2:04And the soul afraid of dying
2:12That never learns to live
2:22When the night has been too lonely
2:30And the road has been too long
2:36And you think that love is only
2:43For the lucky and the strong
2:51Just remember in the winter
2:58Far beneath the bitter snow
3:06Lies the seed that with the sun's love
3:13In the spring becomes a rose
Some say love it is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed Some say love it is a hunger An endless aching need I say love it is a flower And you it's only seed It's the heart afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking That never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken Who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snow Lies the seed that with the sun's love In the spring becomes a rose
