The Rose..........HomepageA Scottish song you can hear and join in - at the Saturday night ceilidh in the Lade Inn - Kilmahog near Callander, Scotland

  1. Some say love, it is the river,
    That drowns the tender reed.
    Some say love’ it is the razor,
    That leads your soul to bleed. .
    Some say love, it is the hunger,
    An endless aching need. .
    I say love, it is the flower,
    And you its only seed.
  2. It's the heart afraid of breaking,
    That never learns to dance.
    It's the dream afraid of waking,
    That never takes the chance.
    It's the one who won't be taken,
    Who cannot see to give.
    And the soul afraid of dying,
    That never learns to live.
  3. When the nlght has been to 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 winter snows
    Lies the seed that with the sunshine,
    In the sprmg becomes the rose
