The Rose

Some say love is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed Some say love is a hunger And it forsaking need I say love is, it is a flower And you it's only seed It's a part of break, of breaking That never learns to dance It's a dream afraid of waking That never takes a chance It's the one afraid of taking That never learns to give And the one afraid of dying Never learns to live A friend Is someone who knows The song of your heart And sings it to you When you Forget The words Attack When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long And you're thinking love is only For the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter The need for bitter snow There's a seed That when the sun comes In the spring becomes the rose --- The Rose - Mudhoney
