[00:09.48]They call me The Wild Rose
[00:18.00]But my name is Elisa Day
[00:20.67]Why they call me it I do not know
[00:29.91]For my name is Elisa Day
[00:32.43]From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
[00:37.11]As she stared in my eyes and smiled
[00:41.73]For her lips were the colour of the roses
[00:46.59]That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
[00:51.15]When he knocked on my door and entered the room
[00:56.10]My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
[01:00.57]He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
[01:05.43]He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
[01:12.42]CHORUS
[01:35.55]On the second day I brought her a flower
[01:40.05]She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
[01:45.09]I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow
[01:49.98]So sweet and scarlet and free?'
[01:53.40]On the second day he came with a single red rose
[01:59.34]Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
[02:04.11]I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
[02:08.31]He said, 'if I show you the roses will you follow?'
[02:11.46]CHORUS
[02:39.00]On the third day he took me to the river
[02:43.20]He showed me the roses and we kissed
[02:47.82]And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
[02:52.80]As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
[02:57.12]On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
[03:02.04]And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
[03:06.51]As I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
[03:10.92]And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
[03:29.91]CHORUS
