That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only 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 taken,
Who cannot seem to give.
And the soul afraid of dying,
Than never learns to live.
When the night has been to lonely
and the road has been to long.
And you think that love is only,
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the winter snows.
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
