Don't Kill It Carol (Mike Heron).

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 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

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 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

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, don't, don't
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

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
