"The Rose" lyrics - JOE BONAMASSA

Some say love is just a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, is just a raiser
That leads your soul to bleed
Some say love, is just a hunger
An endless aching be
And I say love, it is a flower
And you its only seed

It's the hearts 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 see to give
And the soul afraid of dying
Never learns to live

When the night has been so 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 the seed that with the suns love
In the spring becomes the rose

I say love it is a flower
And you its only seed
