The Rose Songtext
von André Schwartz

Some say love

It is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love

It is a razor
That′ll leave your soul to bleed
Some say love
It is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love
It is a flower
And you its 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 can not seem to give
And that 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 in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies that seed
That with the sun′s love in the spring
Becomes the rose
