The Rose

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 it's only seed.

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 seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been to lonely
and the road has been to long
And you think the love is only for 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

大好きな曲をもう一度口ずさんでいます。

あの時K子さんと一緒に夢の共演で弾いたこの曲を
今度は歌で披露することができそうです。

Janis Joplinを想い、K子さんを想い、小さな南平の部屋を想い、あの頃の日々を想い、いつも心にくるこの曲、和製Roseである。I miss you.
