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 its
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
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
