Laurel And The Rose Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

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 

Cos 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 

Photos 

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 

Cos 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
