Melody:			Back to Roth's Song Index
By:		Amanda McBroom
On:

Some say love is like a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love is like a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love is like a hunger, an endless aching need
I say love is like a flower and you it's only seed


It's the heart afraid of breaking that never takes a chance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never learns to dance
It's the one that won't be taken that cannot learn to give
It's the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember that in the winter, far beneath the brittle snow
Lies a seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes a rose.
