Wehre the wild roses grow

 (Album unbekannt Nick Cave & Kylie Minoque

Chorus: They call me the wild rose but my name was elisa day why they call me it don´t know for my name was elisa day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one as 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 tears that ran down my face

Chorus: 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 scarlewt and free ?”

On the second day he came with a single red rose He 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?”

Chorus: 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 stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took he where the wild roses grow as she lay on the bank the wind light as a thief as I kissed her goodby said “All beauty must die” and I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Chorus: My name was elisa day, for my name was elisa day
