[Intro]
D A G A D
[Verse 1]
Some say Dlove, it is a Ariver that Gdrowns the Atender Dreed
Some say Dlove, it is a Arazor that Gleaves your Asoul Dto bleed
Some say F#mlove, it is a Bmhunger, an Gendless aching Aneed
I say Dlove, it is a Aflower, and Gyou it's Aonly Dseed
[Verse 2]
It's the Dsoul, afraid of Adreaming, that Gnever Alearns to Ddance
It's the Dsoul, afraid of Awaking, that Gnever Atakes the Dchance
It's the F#mone who won't be Bmtaken, who Gcannot seem to Agive
And the Dsoul, afraid of Adyin', that Gnever, never Alearns to Dlive
[Verse 3]
When the Dnight has been too Alonely and the Groad has Abeen too Dlong
And you Dthink that love is Aonly for the Glucky Aand the Dstrong
Just reF#mmember in the Bmwinter far beGneath the bitter Asnows
Lies the Dseed, that with the Asun's love, in the Gspring beAcomes the Drose
Just reF#mmember in the Bmwinter far beGneath the bitter Asnows
Lies the Dseed, that with the Asun's love, in the Gspring beAcomes the Drose
[Verse 4]
Some say Dlove, it is a Ariver that Gdrowns the Atender Dreed
Some say Dlove, it is a Arazor that Gleaves your Asoul to Dbleed
Some say F#mlove (some say love), it is a Bmhunger (is a hunger), an Gendless aching Aneed
I say Dlove, it is a Aflower, and Gyou it's Aonly Dseed
[Verse 5]
When the Dnight (when the night) has been too Alonely and the Groad has Abeen too Dlong
And you Dthink (and you think) that love is Aonly for the Glucky Aand the Dstrong
Just reF#mmember in the Bmwinter far beGneath the bitter Asnows (oh oh oh)
Lies the Dseed (lies the seed), that with the Asun's love (with the sun's love), in the Gspring beAcomes the Drose
Just reF#mmember in the Bmwinter (in the winter) far beGneath the bitter Asnows (oh oh oh)
Lies the Dseed (lies the seed), that with the Asun's love (with the sun's love), in the Gspring beAcomes the Drose
