(Bob Welch)

Don't let waters of caution remove you

Don't let the fire of saints compel you

Don't let the lack of their spirit blind your life

Cause soon it's all over, you're gonna come through alive

Well I've been all over the world five times or more

And I've seen the future burn blue before my eyes

And all through the dust and the green magnesium fire

Don't let the violence blind you, you're gonna come through alive

And the roses that are offing

They are real as evening wind

They are washed by love and suffering

Cause my love has colored them

Colored them

oooooh oooohh-nothing but roses

Don't dam the river that's running through you

Stop saving up for time that may never become

I've seen the future come true in twenty days

But don't let is scare you, stop thinking about yesterday

I've had my share of blue revelations

And I know that time is a region to be passed

So all through the dust and green magnesium fire

I can rest easy now, and watch the carnival rolling by

Cause a rose that will be growing

In the place where I have hidden

It is washed by love and suffering

That my love has colored in

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses Iie aaahhh

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses lie aaahhh

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses lie aaahhh

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses lie aaahhh
