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