Where the Wild Roses Grow - Orchestra Alec Medina
Written by:Nicholas Edward Cave/Orchestra Alec Medina
They call me the wild rose
But my name was Eliza day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Eliza day
From the first day I saw her I knew she
Was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
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 out the tears that ran down my face
They call me the wild rose
But my name was Eliza day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Eliza day
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
He said give me your loss and your sorrow
I nodded my head
As I lay on the bed
If I show you the roses will you fall
They call me the wild rose
But my name was Eliza day
Why they call me that I do not know
For my name was Eliza day
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 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 I said 'all beauty must
Die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
They call me the wild rose
But my name was Eliza day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Eliza day
For my name was Eliza day
For my name was Eliza day
