THE ROSE

別問我情愛是什麼
其實我並不真懂
然而如果依據葉慈的說法：
困頓來自露水打溼的薔薇
那我真該學學小王子
拿個玻璃罩護住我的玫瑰
縱使它驕縱又傷人

THE ROSE
詞曲:Amanda Mcbroom
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
And endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you its only seed

It’s the heart afraid of breakin’
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of wakin’
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
