They say that silence is golden But she knows it can be blue The well of her stories is dry And there’s no getting through to you
These are the memories of a wallflower If only she could reach for a new hand, a new dance, a new man These are the memories of a wallflower But she smiles your way behind her fallen copper crown And she waits for you She waits for you She waits for you She waits for you
They say that silence is golden But she knows it can be blue The well of her stories is dry And there’s no getting through to you
These are the memories of a wallflower Ready to unveil her plaster gown and lay down her concrete heart These are the memories of a wallflower But she sits still careful not to blush or stare And she waits for you She waits for you She waits for you She waits for you
Pink and blue and green and yellow She’s splashed against the wall She’s begun to bloom and wander Spring’s happening twice before the fall Ask her to dance and she’ll be sweet Ask her to dance and you’ll fly away Ask her to dance and she’ll be sweet Ask her to dance and you’ll fly away
And she waits for you She waits for you She waits for you She waits for you
They say that silence is golden But she knows it can be blue
