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 An endless, aching need I say love, it is a flower And you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking That never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken, Who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live
And 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 snow Lies the seed that with the sun's love, In the spring, becomes the rose.
