CHORUS:
2
They call me the wild rose
3
But my name was Elisa Day
4
Why they call me that I do not know
5
For my name was Elisa Day
6
[Nick]
7
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
8
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
9
For her lips were the colour of the roses
10
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
11
[Kylie]
12
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
13
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
14
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
15
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
16
CHORUS
17
[Nick]
18
On the second day I brought her a flower
19
She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen
20
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow; So sweet and scarlet and free?"
21
[Kylie]
22
On the second day he came with a single red rose
23
He said:"Give me your loss and your sorrow?"
24
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed
25
"If I show you the roses will you follow?"
26
CHORUS
27
[Kylie]
28
On the third day he took me to the river
29
He showed me the roses and we kissed
30
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
31
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
32
[Nick]
33
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
34
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
35
And I kissed her goodbye, Said, "All beauty must die"
36
And I lent down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth
37
CHORUS
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ft. Kylie Mino...
