Where The Wild Roses Grow |
| [00:02.13] |
|
| [00:03.23] |
|
| [00:04.04] |
For Jack Chan |
| [00:07.24] |
|
| [00:09.94] |
They call me The Wild Rose |
| [00:16.78] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:21.49] |
Why they call me that I do not know |
| [00:28.40] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:31.81] |
|
| [00:33.18] |
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one |
| [00:37.91] |
She stared in my eyes and smiled |
| [00:42.58] |
For her lips were the colour of the roses |
| [00:47.32] |
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild |
| [00:51.94] |
|
| [00:52.30] |
When he knocked on my door and entered the room |
| [00:56.65] |
My trembling subsided and in his sure embrace |
| [01:01.33] |
He would be my first man, a work a full hand |
| [01:06.16] |
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face |
| [01:10.01] |
|
| [01:12.87] |
They call me The Wild Rose |
| [01:19.91] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:24.51] |
Why they call me that I do not know |
| [01:31.34] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:36.16] |
|
| [01:36.53] |
On the second day I brought her a flower |
| [01:40.95] |
She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen |
| [01:45.83] |
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow |
| [01:50.70] |
So sweet and scarlet and free?" |
| [01:53.47] |
|
| [01:55.03] |
On the second day he came with a single red rose |
| [01:59.31] |
He said: "Give me your loss and your sorrow?" |
| [02:04.33] |
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed |
| [02:09.25] |
"If I show you the roses will you follow?" |
| [02:12.80] |
|
| [02:15.95] |
They call me The Wild Rose |
| [02:23.15] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:27.23] |
Why they call me that I do not know |
| [02:34.27] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:38.84] |
|
| [02:39.80] |
On the third day he took me to the river |
| [02:43.99] |
He showed me the roses and we kissed |
| [02:48.62] |
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word |
| [02:53.89] |
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist |
| [02:58.12] |
|
| [02:58.48] |
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow |
| [03:02.77] |
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief |
| [03:07.14] |
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die" |
| [03:11.74] |
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth |
| [03:18.65] |
|
| [03:18.98] |
They call me The Wild Rose |
| [03:25.53] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:30.43] |
Why they call me that I do not know |
| [03:36.92] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
