The Rose Lyrics

Intro: C (x8)
Some say love, it is a ri-ver, that drowns, the ten-der reed,
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves, your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hun-ger, an endless ach??ing need,
I say love, it is a flower, and you, it's on-ly 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 ta-ken, who can-not 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 on-ly, for the lucky, and the strong.
Just re-member, in the win-ter, far beneath, the bit-ter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes the rose.
