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
