This wild rose that I hold in my hand
It's the strangest thing I've seen,
One bud only just started to show,
And the leaves are the lightest green.
It's had it's share of the rain,
It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again,
But one cruel lie and it could die.
(Don't k** it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't k** it Carol.
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't k** it Carol.
meaning byBilly A Is this song about something really deep, or just someone on acid? See all This wild rose that I hold in my hand,
It could grow to be so strong,
Born one night in the calm of the storm,
It was made for a rock and roll song.
It's only just seen the light,
It could so easily fall back to the gentle night,
But one cruel lie and it could die.
(Don't k** it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't k** it Carol.
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't k** it Carol.
It's looking for a place to live outside all space and time,
Where there's no need for it to fade.
There's a secret garden that I think we can find,
Lot's of sunshine there's a touch of shade.
(Don't k** it Carol)
This wild rose that I hold in my hand

One bud only just started to show,
And the leaves are the lightest green.

It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again,
But one cruel lie and it could die.
(Don't k** it Carol)
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't k** it Carol.
Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,
Don't k** it Carol.
