Jefferson Starship Lyrics

Album: Freedom At Point Zero

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
