The Rose

Song The Rose
Artist Nana Mouskouri
Album Why Worry

Lyrics

[00:07.01] Some say love it is a river
[00:14.48] That drowns the tender reed
[00:21.58] Some say love it is a razor
[00:29.38] That leaves your soul to bleed
[00:36.56] Some say love it is a hunger
[00:44.63] An endless, aching need
[00:51.94] I say love it is a flower
[01:00.31] And you it's only seed
[01:11.79] It's the heart afraid of breaking
[01:18.88] That never learns to dance
[01:25.35] It's the dream afraid of waking
[01:32.67] That never takes the chance
[01:39.11] It's the one who won't be taken
[01:46.57] Who cannot seem to give
[01:53.19] And the soul afraid of dying
[02:00.61] That never learns to live
[02:11.22] When the night has been too lonely
[02:17.90] And the road has been too long
[02:24.41] And you think that love is only
[02:31.27] For the lucky and the strong
[02:37.96] Just remember in the winter
[02:44.90] Far beneath the bitter snow
[02:52.19] Lies the seed that with the sun's love
[03:01.16] In the spring, becomes the rose…
