Some say love it is a river |
|
That drowns the tender reed |
|
Some say love it is a razor |
|
That leaves your soul to bleed |
|
Some say love it is a hunger |
|
And endless aching need |
|
I say love it is a flower |
|
And you its only seed |
|
It's the heart afraid of breakin' |
|
That never learns to dance |
|
It's the dream afraid of wakin' |
|
That never takes the chance |
|
It's the one who won't be taken |
|
Who cannot seem to give |
|
And the soul afraid of dyin' |
|
That never learns to live |
|
When the night has been too lonely |
|
And the road has been too long |
|
And you think that love is only |
|
For the lucky and the strong |
|
Just remember in the winter |
|
Far beneath the bitter snows |
|
Lies the seed that with the sun's love |
|
In the spring becomes the rose |
