Lyrics

[00:06.100] Majorie Hill-The Rose
[00:10.900]
[00:11.580] Some say love it is a river
[00:18.100] That drowns the tender reed
[00:25.220] Some say love it is a razor
[00:33.260] That leaves your soul to bleed
[00:39.720] Some say love it is a hunger
[00:47.330] And endless aching need
[00:55.610] I say love it is a flower
[01:03.410] And you its only seed
[01:14.040] It's the heart afraid of breaking
[01:21.480] That never learns to dance
[01:28.070] It's the dream afraid of waking
[01:36.450] That never takes the chance
[01:43.340] It's the one who won't be taken
[01:51.000] Who can not seem to give
[01:58.510] And the soul afraid of dying
[02:06.090] That never learns to live
[02:14.220] When the night has been too lonely
[02:24.460] And the road has been too long
[02:31.350] And you think that love is only
[02:38.460] For the lucky and the strong
[02:45.910] Just remember in the winter
[02:54.170] Far beneath the bitter snow
[03:01.530] Lies the seed that with the sun's love
[03:08.990] In the spring becomes the rose
