《Where the Wild Roses Grow》TKylie Minogue 、Nick Cave 、the bad seeds -Where The Wild Roses Grow
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her
I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of
The roses
That grew down the river
All bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door
And entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man and with
A careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down
My face
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the second day
I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than
Any woman I'd seen
I said do you know where
The wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free
On the second day he came with
A single red rose
Said will you give me your loss
And your sorrow
I nodded my head as I lay
On the bed
If I show you
The roses will you follow
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it
I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the third day
He took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing
I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with
A rock in his fist
On the last day I took her
Where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank
The wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye said
All beauty must die
And lent down and planted
A rose between her teeth
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
My name was Elisa Day
For my name was Elisa Day
