Silver Rose

I lace my shoes slow By the painted door Watch your dresses spin Across the marble floor I hold my glass still Like a borrowed name You glide right past me And I stay the same Chandeliers are swinging Like they know my face Every laugh is passing But I keep my place Silver rose, I stand and sway Silver rose, I hide away While the whole room twirls I bloom in the shade Silver rose, I stand and sway (Silver rose) Your hand finds daylight In another palm I know the music But I never join the calm I learn the corners Like a second skin One more quiet heartbeat Then the waltz comes in Chandeliers are spinning Over all my doubts Every starched-up smile Lets the wrong man out Silver rose, I stand and sway Silver rose, I hide away While the whole room twirls I bloom in the shade Silver rose, I stand and sway (Silver rose) Maybe I’m not broken Maybe I’m a seed Waiting for the window And the little light I need So I turn my face up Let the awkward show Even wallflowers open If the garden grows Silver rose, I stand and sway Silver rose, I hide away While the whole room twirls I bloom in the shade Silver rose, I stand and sway Silver rose, I learn my name (Silver rose) (Silver rose)
