[00:04.29] Where the Wild Roses Grow
[00:06.04] Nick Cave,Kylie Minouge
[00:07.54]
[00:10.42] He call me the Wild Rose
[00:16.85] But my name was Elisa Day
[00:21.98] Why he call me that I do not know
[00:28.85] For my name was Elisa Day
[00:34.48] From the first day I saw I knew she was the one
[00:38.23] As she stared in my eyes and smiled
[00:43.04] For her lips were the colour of the roses
[00:48.10] That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
[00:53.10] When he knocked on my door and entered the room
[00:57.79] My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
[01:02.35] He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
[01:07.29] He wiped at the tears that ran down my faces
[01:14.60] He call me the Wild Rose
[01:21.73] But my name was Elisa Day
[01:26.48] Why he call me that I do not know
[01:33.61] For my name was Elisa Day
[01:38.73] On the second day I brought her a flower
[01:42.98] She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
[01:48.17] I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
[01:53.11] so sweet and scarlet and free?"
[01:57.67] On the second day he came with a single red rose
[02:02.48] He said, "Give me your lost and your sorrow."
[02:07.11] I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
[02:11.98] "If I show you the roses will you follow?"
[02:19.29] He call me the Wild Rose
[02:26.67] But my name was Elisa Day
[02:31.29] Why he call me that I do not know
[02:38.48] For my name was Elisa Day
[02:44.54] On the third day he took me to the river
[02:48.29] He showed me the roses and we kissed
[02:52.91] And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
[02:57.79] As he knocked above me with a rock in his fist
[03:02.60] On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
[03:07.29] And she lay on the bank, whe wind light as a thief
[03:11.98] As I kissed her goodbye, said I "All beauty must die"
[03:16.73] And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
[03:24.23] He call me the Wild Rose
[03:31.48] But my name was Elisa Day
[03:35.79] Why he call me that I do not know
[03:43.29] For my name was Elisa Day
[03:48.35] My name was Elisa Day
[03:53.04] For my name was Elisa Day
