[verse 1]
             
Some say love,

          
 it is a river
           
That drowns  t

         
he tender reed
              
Some say love,

          
 it is a razor
           
That leaves   

            
your soul to b

leed
         
Some say love,

          
 it is a hunge

r
              
An endless ach

       
ing need
             
I say love, it

       
 is a flower
           
And you   its 

      
only seed


[verse 2]
             
It's the heart

             
 afraid of bre


aking
           
That ne- ver l

          
earns to dance
             
It's the dream

            
 afraid of wak

ing
           
That never   t

           
akes the chanc

e
         
It's the one  

              
 who won't be 

 
taken
             
Who can-not se

         
em to give
             
And the soul a

         
fraid of dyin'
           
That never   l

          
earns to live


[verse 3]
             
When the night

              
 has been too 

 
lonely
           
And the road  

              
 has been too 


long
             
And you think 

             
that love is o

For the lucky 

         
  and the stro

Just remember 

       
in the winter
             
Far beneath th

             
e bitter snows
             
Lies the seed
