The Dubliners, Hothouse Flowers - The Rose lyrics
[The Dubliners, Hothouse Flowers - The Rose lyrics]
Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed some say love
It is a razor that leaves the soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need but, I say love
It is a flower and you - it's 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 cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
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 snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
That drowns the tender reed some say love
It is a razor that leaves the soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need but, I say love
It is a flower and you - it's 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 cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
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 snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
