don't kill it carol

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. oh carol oh

won't you let this flower grow

don't kill it carol. oh carol oh

won't you let this flower grow

don't kill it carol. 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. oh carol oh

won't you let this flower grow

don't kill it carol. oh carol oh

won't you let this flower grow

don't kill 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. 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. oh carol oh

won't you let this flower grow

don't kill it carol. oh carol oh

won't you let this flower grow

don't kill it carol.
