[00:09.57]They call me The Wild Rose
[00:18.06]But my name is Elisa Day
[00:20.76]Why they call me it I do not know
[00:29.85]For my name is Elisa Day
[00:32.52]From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
[00:37.11]As she stared in my eyes and smiled
[00:41.79]For her lips were the colour of the roses
[00:46.65]That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
[00:51.21]When he knocked on my door and entered the room
[00:56.16]My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
[01:00.63]He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
[01:05.52]He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
[01:12.48]CHORUS
[01:35.64]On the second day I brought her a flower
[01:40.11]She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
[01:45.18]I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow
[01:50.07]So sweet and scarlet and free?'
[01:53.46]On the second day he came with a single red rose
[01:59.43]Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
[02:03.69]I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
[02:08.37]He said, 'if I show you the roses will you follow?'
[02:11.52]CHORUS
[02:39.09]On the third day he took me to the river
[02:43.26]He showed me the roses and we kissed
[02:47.91]And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
[02:52.86]As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
[02:57.21]On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
[03:02.13]And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
[03:06.57]As I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
[03:11.01]And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
[03:30.03]CHORUS
