It is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love
It is a razor
That leaves the soul to bleed
Some say love
It is a hunger
An endless aching need
But 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
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
Some say love It is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love It is a razor That leaves the soul to bleed Some say love It is a hunger An endless aching need But 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 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 Explain Request ×
