“Laurel” is an atmospheric mid-tempo ballad featuring strings, harpsichord, and vibraphone which give it a darkly cinematic feeling.
The song takes its name from (and is told from the point-of-view of) the doomed heroine in Dorothy B. Hughes’s 1947 novel In a Lonely Place.
Laurel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looking for light
A golden light
Red, red hair
And almond eyes
[Verse 2]
Searching for love
A wallet's hot
The price is right
It's money for love
[Verse 3]
Looking for light
A golden light
With your red, red hair
And almond eyes
[Chorus]

Your red, red hair
Your almond eyes
[Chorus]
Laurel, you came here
Laurel came here
[Bridge]
Fear is a fog
Rolling in and around
[Chorus]
Laurel whispers from inside
Laurel, running out of time
