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
