Jefferson Starship - Lightning Rose Lyrics
[note: the first verse is, mysteriously, not sung on the record.]A song for a girl who lives for the futureA song of the fremen [sic] camps near the riverAfter the fall -- before the beginningWe build the watchfire every nightWe control the water flowWe control the power from fusionReactor #12The walls of the city crumbleI would sing a song fifty feet longSweet breezes on pine beachesThe sound of fireLet it shine let it shine let it shineShut down the city lights I want to be with my ladyBuild up the watchfires turn down the sunI been too long in the green fields of raptureI been too long without bein on the runCarry the fire from the heart of your loverCarry the fire where the wild things runTheres a monster lurking deep in the forestLets go and get him when the mornin comesRose I need youRose cant go without your loveRose I need youI cant go without youI wont go without your loveOooh rose do you remember all the dancesRemember the miracles and all the crazy chances we took onLove, love, love -- I want to go beyondLove, love, love ------ lets goInside the walls of forbidden hallsBeyond everything Ive ever hoped or sungCarry the fire -- beyond all desireCarry the fire -- brighter than the sunRoseLightning roseRoseI wont leave without youI cant go without your loveLove is a fire in the roseShe rocks meShut down the city lights I want to be with my babyBuild up the watchfires turn down the sunRose I need to feel you near meLightning rose I need you to be strongCome together warm around the watchfireCome together till the mornin sunOpen the floodgates and let loose the watersStand by the banks and watch the water runCarry the fire to the heart of the darknessCarry the fire each and every oneCarry the fire in your hands if you need toCarry the fire the fire the fireLet it shine let it shineLook into the night skyThe walls fall before you
