lyrics

Verse
Let me tell you a story of my careless old flame
I opened my petals when I first heard his name
Thought love could bloom anywhere
You want it to grow
When his affections dried up
I loved still him so

Verse
So I twisted my vines to capture his rays
I changed all my colors to stay in his gaze
I went without raindrops
And said I’m just fine
With no other water
But the tears in my eyes

Chorus
I’m dancing alone
While the rose petals fall
the sun burns unending
In the wilted flower waltz

Verse
Now my lover is carved in the old mountainside
He slope of his nose and obsidian eyes
I grow between boulders
I never give up
I’ll wait here forever til I’m finally enough

Chorus
I’m dancing alone
then back to the wall
the sun burns unending
In the wilted flower waltz

Verse
In the high alpine desert
In the heat of my heart
The prairies a wildfire waiting to spark
One cigarette flick from a beat up sedan
Could burn the whole thing down, what a careless hand
You’ll be

Chorus
dancing alone
He don’t think of me at all
the sun burns unending
In the wilted flower waltz
