A E
Some say love, it is a river
D E A
That drowns the tender reed
E
Some say love, it is a razor
D E A
That leaves your soul to bleed
F#m D
Some say love, it is a hunger
Bm E
An endless, aching need
A E
I say love, it is a flower
D E A
And you, its only seed
E
It's the heart, afraid of breaking
D E A
That never learns to dance
E
It's the dream, afraid of waking
D E A
That never takes the chance
F#m D
It's the one who won't be taken
Bm E
Who cannot seem to give
A E
And the soul, afraid of dyin'
D E A
That never learns to live
E
When the night has been too lonely
D E A
And the road has been too long
E
And you think that love is only
D E A
For the lucky and the strong
F#m D
Just remember in the winter
Bm E
Far beneath the bitter snow
A E
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
D E A
In the spring becomes the rose
