Some say love, it is a razor
                D                                    A

Some say love, it is a hunger
        Bm                                    D    A  
An endless aching need
                        A                              E  
I say love, it is a flower
                D                                      A  
And you, it's only seed
                                A                                         E

                          A                                    E  
And the soul, afraid of dying
                D                                 A  
That never learns to live
                          A                                              E  
When the night has been too lonely
                        D                                      A  
And the road has been too long
                          A                                         E  
And you think that love is only
                        D                      A  
for the lucky and the strong
                     C#m                         F#m  
Just remember in the winter
                     Bm                                 D            A  
Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
                        D                              A  
in the spring, becomes the rose
