Written by 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 rooooooooses   Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh   Look where the roses grow   Look where the roses grow   Look where the rooooooooses   Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh   Look where the roses grow   Look where the roses grow   Look where the rooooooooses   Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh   Look where the roses grow   Look where the roses grow   Look where the rooooooooses   Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh
