[Verse 1]

             
Some say love,

          
 it is a river

,
             
That drowns th

         
e tender reed
             
Some say love,

          
 it is a razor

,
             
That leaves yo

            
ur soul to ble

Some say love,

An endless ach

I say love, it

        
 is a flower a

You its only s

[Verse 2]

             
It's the heart

              
 afraid of bre

 
aking
             
That never lea

        
rns to dance
             
It's the dream

              
 afraid of wak

That never tak

[Verse 3]

             
When the night

              
 has been too 

  
lonely
             
And the road h

And you think 

             
that love is o

For the lucky

Far beneath th

Lies the seed
