JANIS JOPLIN - The Rose lyrics

rate me

Some say love, it is a river<br />

That drowns the tender reed<br />

Some say love, it is a razer<br />

That leaves your soul to bleed<br />

<br />

Some say love, it is a hunger<br />

An endless, aching need<br />

I say love, it is a flower<br />

And you, it's only seed<br />

<br />

It's the heart, afraid of breaking<br />

That never learns to dance<br />

It's the dream, afraid of waking<br />

That never takes the chance<br />

<br />

It's the one who won't be taken<br />

Who cannot seem to give<br />

And the soul afraid of dyin'<br />

That never learns to live<br />

<br />

When the night has been too lonely<br />

And the road has been too long<br />

And you think that love is only<br />

For the lucky and the strong<br />

<br />

Just remember, in the winter<br />

Far beneath the bitter snows<br />

Lies the seed, that with the sun's love<br />

In the spring, becomes the rose
