Where The Wild Rosees Grow
by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds + Kylie Minogue
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day
Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day
1. On the first day I saw her I knew she was the one she stared in my eyes
and smiled
For her lips with the colour of the roses, that grew down the river
All bloody and wine
When he knocked on my door and he entered the room the trembling subside
and in his sure embrace
He would be my first lad, a worker for hand he wiped off the tears,
that run down my face
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day
Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day
2. On the second day I brought her a flower, she's more beautiful
Than any woman I see
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, he said 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
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day
Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day
3. 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 martered word, as he melt above me
with a rock in his face
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 good-bye, said all beauty must die, as I lent down
and planted a rose between her tears
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day
Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day (x3)
Enjoy!
