The Rose(CDS 1)

Westlife The Rose(CDS 1) Lyrics
1.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 a 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.


2.Solitaire

A lonely man
Who lost his love though his indifference
Mark:A heart that kept,that went unchecked
Until it died within his silence
Shane:And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
takes him down
And by himself,it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And Keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Mark:A little hope
goes up in smoke
Just how it goes,
goes without saying
Shane:There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing
Mark:And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
takes him down
And by himself,it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And Keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Shane:A little hope
goes up in smoke
Just how it goes,
goes without saying
Mark:And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
takes him down
And by himself,it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And Keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
Shane:He's playing Solitaire
