Verse:
          C             G
Some say love, it is a river,
  F              G      C
that drowns the tender reed
          C             G
Some say love, it is a razor,
 F                G       C
that leaves your soul to bleed
Em                     Am(7)
Some say love, it is a hunger,
    F              G
an endless aching need
    C          G
I say love, it is a flower,
     F        G    C
and you it's only seed


Verse (with riff):
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,
that never, learns to live

Verse (with riff):
When the night has, been to lonely,
and the road has been to long
That 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 suns love,
in the spring becomes the rose
