Lightning Rose Lyrics by 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 future
    A song of the fremen [sic] camps near the river
    After the fall -- before the beginning
    We build the watchfire every night
    We control the water flow
    We control the power from fusion
    Reactor #12
    The walls of the city crumble
    I would sing a song fifty feet long
    Sweet breezes on pine beaches
    The sound of fire
    Let it shine let it shine let it shine

    Shut down the city lights i want to be with my lady
    Build up the watchfires turn down the sun
    I been too long in the green fields of rapture
    I been too long without bein on the run
    Carry the fire from the heart of your lover
    Carry the fire where the wild things run
    There's a monster lurking deep in the forest
    Let's go and get him when the mornin comes

    Rose i need you
    Rose can't go without your love
    Rose i need you
    I can't go without you
    I won't go without your love

    Oooh rose do you remember all the dances
    Remember the miracles and all the crazy chances we took on
    Love, love, love -- i want to go beyond
    Love, love, love ------ let's go
    Inside the walls of forbidden halls
    Beyond everything i've ever hoped or sung
    Carry the fire -- beyond all desire
    Carry the fire -- brighter than the sun

    Rose
    Lightning rose
    Rose
    I won't leave without you
    I can't go without your love

    Love is a fire in the rose
    She rocks me

    Shut down the city lights i want to be with my baby
    Build up the watchfires turn down the sun
    Rose i need to feel you near me
    Lightning rose i need you to be strong

    Come together warm around the watchfire
    Come together till the mornin sun
    Open the floodgates and let loose the waters
    Stand by the banks and watch the water run

    Carry the fire to the heart of the darkness
    Carry the fire each and every one
    Carry the fire in your hands if you need to
    Carry the fire the fire the fire

    Let it shine let it shine

    Look into the night sky
    The walls fall before you
