Lyrics

Laurel And The Rose

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Leaning on a blade of grass

Looking for support

I got my head in the lion's mouth

I got my feet on thin ice

Oh that spells danger

Will I get compensation

When you break my soul

Will I get anxious

For a little affection

Oh I feel danger

I don't want to cry too soon

Don't want to sound the alarm

A lonely pedestrian

Walking in the night

And there's no need to run

Cost I'm following behind

And I don't want

I don't want

I don't want to misunderstand

Am I the prize

The laurel and the rose

Will you use me well

Or will I see hell

That's the danger

I don't want to cry too soon

Don't want to sound the alarm

A lonely pedestrian

Walking in the night

And there's no need to run

Cost I'm following behind

And I don't want

I don't want

I don't want to misunderstand

But I feel there's some danger

And I know that you're the source

Well I could try to run

But I'm sure you've got the speed

And I can't say

I can't say

I can't say I'd fight you to win

I don't want to cry too soon

Don't want to sound the alarm

But I feel there's some danger

And I know that you're the source

Well I could try to run

But I'm sure you've got the speed

And I can't say

I can't say

I can't say I'd fight you to win

So I'll just face the danger

I don't want to cry too soon

Don't want to sound the alarm

I don't want to cry too soon

Don't want to sound the alarm
