The rose in the meadow The flower you carry Ripe for the taking And you know I'm a loving soul No I won't climb the barricades The people may be watching It ain't the sound of the avalanche It is the sound of the backroom door And I walk away And I walk away Sure there are some things And I like to take stuff on But you know I can't force it Take some sugar with your coffee No I won't climb the barricades The people may be watching It ain't the sound of the avalanche It is the sound of the backroom door And I walk away And I walk away I won't climb the barricades The people may be watching It ain't the sound of the avalanche No I won't climb the barricades The people may be watching It ain't the sound of the avalanche It is the sound of the backroom door Saying I won't start today No I won't start today Saying I won't start today No I won't start today And I walk away I walk away
