The Rose

今日は、バラ仕事はありませんでしたが、音楽でバラを楽しみます。

The Rose/ザ・ローズ(バラ)

Some say love,
it is a river
That drowns
the tender reed
Some say love,
it is a razor
That leaves 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 cannot seem to give,
And the soul
afraid of dyin’
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 snows
Lies the seed that
with the sun’s love
In the spring
becomes the rose
