WALLFLOWER

from WALLFLOWER by EllY Tree

about

The wallflower: such a pretty, glamorous flower, so why is it associated with shy, people who lack confidence? She's a beauty, my wallflower. She just doesn't know it.

lyrics

WALLFLOWER

Wallflower you are so gaudy
Wallflower you are so lovely
Why do you hide yourself up against the wall?
Wallflower is it seemly
Making your home in broken masonry
Dressed in such gorgeous, velvet, multi-coloured motley?
Take me where your dressmaker fashions your clothing
And did I hear the wallflower reply...

I live as I please. I dance with the breeze
Nobody tells me where to grow
No-one takes too much notice of me
Except the bees, except the bees, except the bees.

And the bees will love me forever, far better than you

Wouldn't you like to be as beautiful as me?
I am the mistress of my days
Catch the scent of me, catch the sight of me
Drifting through summer's embraces
And then watch me fade, watch me fade
Said the wallflower, wallflower
Wallflower, wallflower.
