Some say love is just a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love's just a razor That leaves your soul, soul to bleed Some say love's just a hunger An endless aching need And 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 Yeah, 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 snow Lies the seed that with the sun's love In the spring becomes the rose... (Aah, aah, aah...)
