The Rose - Mudhoney

Some say love is a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love is a hunger

And it forsaking need

I say love is, it is a flower

And you its only seed

Its a part of break, of breaking

That never learns to dance

Its a dream afraid of waking

That never takes a chance

Its the one afraid of taking

That never learns to give

And the one afraid of dying

Never learns to live

A friend

Is someone who knows

The song of your heart

And sings it to you

When you

Forget

The words

Attack

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And youre thinking love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

The need for bitter snow

Theres a seed

That when the sun comes

In the spring becomes the rose
