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