Lyrics

[00:05.91] Some say love it is a river
[00:14.83] That drowns the tender reed
[00:22.95] Some say love it is a razor
[00:32.18] That leaves your soul to bleed
[00:40.51] Some say love it is a hunger
[00:49.38] An endless, aching need
[00:57.21] I say love it is a flower
[01:06.29] And you it's only seed
[01:16.24] It's the heart afraid of breaking
[01:25.33] That never learns to dance
[01:33.44] It's the dream afraid of waking
[01:41.68] That never takes the chance
[01:50.02] It's the one who won't be taken
[01:58.53] Who cannot seem to give
[02:06.44] And the soul afraid of dying
[02:15.01] That never learns to live
[02:23.55] When the night has been too lonely
[02:31.52] And the road has been too long
[02:39.59] And you think that love is only
[02:47.92] For the lucky and the strong
[02:55.94] Just remember in the winter
[03:04.07] Far beneath the bitter snow
[03:12.66] Lies the seed that with the sun's love
[03:21.70] In the spring, becomes the rose
