Lyrics

[00:06.57] Some say love it is a river
[00:14.82] that drowns the tender reed
[00:22.32] some say love it is a razor
[00:31.01] that leaves your soul to bleed
[00:38.45] Some say love it is a hunger
[00:46.95] an endless aching need
[00:54.82] I say love it is a flower
[01:03.59] and you its only seed
[01:15.28] It's the heart afraid of breaking
[01:23.72] that never learns to dance
[01:30.91] it's the dream afraid of waking
[01:39.72] that never takes the chance
[01:47.28] It's the one who won't be taken
[01:55.72] who can not seem to give
[02:03.53] and the soul afraid of dying
[02:12.03] that never learns to live
[02:19.21] When the night has been too lonely
[02:26.71] and the road has been too long
[02:33.90] and you think that love is only
[02:41.72] for the lucky and the strong
[02:49.36] Just remember in the winter
[02:56.54] far beneath the bitter snow
[03:04.30] lies the seed that with the sun's love
[03:12.24] in the spring becomes the rose
[03:19.55] lies the seed that with the sun's love
[03:27.93] in the spring becomes the rose
