Lyrics

[00:12.35] Some say love it is a river
[00:22.45] That drowns the tender reed
[00:29.45] Some say love it is a razor
[00:37.24] That leaves your soul to bleed
[00:44.60] Some say love it is a hunger
[00:51.57] An endless, aching need
[00:59.20] I say love it is a flower
[01:07.79] And you it's only seed
[01:18.11] It's the heart afraid of breaking
[01:26.61] That never learns to dance
[01:33.30] It's the dream afraid of waking
[01:40.92] That never takes the chance
[01:47.45] It's the one who won't be taken
[01:54.99] Who cannot seem to give
[02:02.30] And the soul afraid of dying
[02:10.77] That never learns to live
[02:20.40] When the night has been too lonely
[02:28.18] And the road has been too long
[02:35.23] And you think that love is only
[02:42.40] For the lucky and the strong
[02:49.34] Just remember in the winter
[02:56.63] Far beneath the bitter snow
[03:04.51] Lies the seed that with the sun's love
[03:13.07] In the spring, becomes the rose
