Nick Cave lyrics Where The Wild Roses Grow lyrics (feat. Kylie Minogue) 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 [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 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 He said, "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 knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow And 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 [Chorus] Other Nick Cave lyrics: Song Of Joy lyrics Stagger Lee lyrics Henry Lee lyrics Lovely Creature lyrics The Curse Of Millhaven lyrics The Kindness Of Strangers lyrics Crow Jane lyrics O'Malley's Bar lyrics Death Is Not The End lyrics Into My Arms lyrics I Do Love Her So (Lime Tree Arbour) lyrics People Ain't No Good lyrics Brompton Oratory lyrics There Is a Kingdom lyrics Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For? lyrics Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere lyrics West Country Girl lyrics Black Hair lyrics Idiot Prayer lyrics Far From Me lyrics Green Eyes lyrics Come Into My Sleep lyrics Babe, I Got You Bad lyrics Right Now I'm A-roaming lyrics Little Empty Boat lyrics Knoxville Girl lyrics King Kong Kitchee Kitchee Ki-Mi-O lyrics The Willow Garden lyrics |
