G D7
Some say love it is a river
C D G
That drowns the tender reed
D7
Some say love it is a razor
C D G
That leaves the soul to bleed
C
Some say love it is a hunger
D7
An endless aching need
G D7
I say love it is a flower
C G
And you it's only seed
D7
It's a heart afraid of breaking
C D7 G
That never learns to dance
D7
It's a dream afraid of waking
C D7 G
That never takes the chance
Bm Em
It's the one who won't be taken
C D7
Who cannot seem to give
G D7
And the soul afraid of dying
C D7 G
That never learns to live
D7
When the night has been so lonely
C D7 G
And the road has been too long
D7
And you think that love is only
C D7 G
For the lucky and the strong
Bm Em
Just remember in the winter
C D7
Far beneath the bitter snows
G D7
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
C D7 G
In spring becomes the rose
