The Rose Lyrics - Mudhoney

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 that fears the breaking, that never learns the 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, who never learns to live 

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long 

When you think that love is only for the lucky and for 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 

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long 

When you think that love is only, only for the lucky 

The lucky and the strong 

Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow 

Lies the seed that with the sun's love 

In the spring becomes the rose, the rose
