Don’t Kill It Carol

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Steve Waller and Pat King] 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 its share of the rain It needs some feeling to light its fiery flame again But one cruel lie and it could die [Chorus: Chris Robinson] (Don't kill it Carol) 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 [Verse 2: Steve Waller and Pat King] 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 into the gentle night But one cruel lie and it could die [Chorus: Chris Robinson] (Don't kill it Carol) 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 [Bridge: Manfred Mann] 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 Lots of sunshine there's a touch of shade (Don't kill it Carol) [Verse 3: Steve Waller and Pat King] 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 its share of the rain It needs some feeling to light its fiery flame again But one cruel lie and it could die [Chorus: Chris Robinson] (Don't kill it Carol) 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 [repeat to fade]
