Where The Wild Roses Grow

Текст песни NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS - Where The Wild Roses Grow <br/> They call me The Wild Rose<br />But my name was Elisa Day<br />Why they call me it I do not know<br />For my name was Elisa Day <br /><br />From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one<br />She stared in my eyes and smiled<br />For her lips were the colour of the roses<br />( )<br />That grew down the river, all bloody and wild <br /><br />When he knocked on my door and entered the room<br />My trembling subsided in his sure embrace<br />He would be my first man, and with a careful hand<br />He wiped at the tears that ran down my face <br /><br />Chorus <br /><br />On the second day I brought her a flower<br />She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen<br />I said, ";Do you know where the wild roses grow<br />So sweet and scarlet and free?"; <br /><br />On the second day he came with a single red rose<br />Said: ";Will you give me your loss and your sorrow";<br />I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed<br />He said, ";If I show you the roses, will you follow?"; <br /><br />Chorus <br /><br />On the third day he took me to the river<br />He showed me the roses and we kissed<br />And the last thing I heard was a muttered word<br />As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist <br /><br />On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
