The Rose

[Verse 1]

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, oh love, it is a flower

And you, you are its only seed

[Verse 2]

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

And it's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul, the soul afraid of dyin'

That never, nеver learns to live

[Verse 3]

Whеn the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

Only for the lucky and the strong

You remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose
