Where The Wild Roses Grow
Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue
EmAmEmDEm
EmThey call me The Wild AmRoseEm
But my Gname was Elisa HDay
Why they Emcall me it I do not AmknowEm
For my name was EDsus2lisa EmDay
EmFrom the first day I saw her I knew Gshe was the one
She Amstared in my eyes and Hsmiled
For her Emlips were the colour of the Groses
That Amgrew down the river, all Hbloody and wild
When he Emknocked on my door and Gentered the room
My Amtrembling subsided in Hhis sure embrace
He would Embe my first man, and Gwith a careful hand
He Amwiped at the tears that Hran down my face
EmThey call me The Wild AmRoseEm
But my Gname was Elisa HDay
Why they Emcall me it I do not AmknowEm
For my name was EDsus2lisa EmDay
EmOn the second day I brought her a Gflower
She was more Ambeautiful than any Hwoman I'd seen
I Emsaid, "Do you know where the Gwild roses grow
AmSo sweet and scarlet and Hfree?"
On the Emsecond day he came with a Gsingle red rose
He said "AmGive me your loss and your Hsorrow"
I Emnodded my head, as I Glay on the bed
"If I Amshow you the roses, will you Hfollow?"
EmThey call me The Wild AmRoseEm
But my Gname was Elisa HDay
Why they Emcall me it I do not AmknowEm
For my name was EDsus2lisa EmDay
EmOn the third day he took me to the Griver
He Amshowed me the roses and we Hkissed
And the Emlast thing I heard was a Gmuttered word
As Amhe knelt above me with a Hrock in his fist
On the Emlast day I took her where the Gwild roses grow
And she Amlay on the bank, the wind Hlight as a thief
And I Emkissed her goodbye, said, "All Gbeauty must die"
And I Amlent down and planted a Hrose 'tween her teeth
They Emcall me The Wild AmRoseEm
But my Gname was Elisa HDay
Why they Emcall me that I do not AmknowEm
For my name was EDsus2lisa EmDay
My name was EDsus2lisa EmDay
For my name was Dsus2Elisa EmDay
