Where The Wild

Where The Wild Rosees Grow

==========================

by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds + Kylie Minogue

R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day

Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day

1. On the first day I saw her I knew she was the one she stared in my eyes

and smiled

For her lips with the colour of the roses, that grew down the river

All bloody and wine

When he knocked on my door and he entered the room the trembling subside

and in his sure embrace

He would be my first lad, a worker for hand he wiped off the tears,

that run down my face

R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day

Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day

2. On the second day I brought her a flower, she's more beautiful

Than any woman I see

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

follow

R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day

Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day

3. 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 martered word, as he melt above me

with a rock in his face

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow, she lay on the

bank, the wind light as a thief

And I kissed her good-bye, said all beauty must die, as I lent down

and planted a rose between her tears

R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day

Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day (x3)

Enjoy!
