Where The Wild Roses Grow lyrics
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
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That 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 up the tears that ran down my face

Chorus
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 second day I brought her a flower
She's more beautiful than any woman I've seen
And 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?

Chorus

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
She lay on the bank, the wind light as her feet
And I kissed her goodbye, said all beauty must die
And I knelt down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth

Chorus

My name was Eliza Day
For my name was Eliza Day.
