Laurel And The Rose — текст песни (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

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
