| [00:09.23] |
They call me "The Wild Rose" |
| [00:15.79] |
|
| [00:16.70] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:20.23] |
|
| [00:20.93] |
Why they call me it I do not know |
| [00:26.10] |
|
| [00:27.18] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [00:32.37] |
|
| [00:32.81] |
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one |
| [00:37.25] |
|
| [00:37.47] |
As she stared in my eyes and smiled |
| [00:41.46] |
|
| [00:41.76] |
For her lips were the colour of the roses |
| [00:46.47] |
|
| [00:46.74] |
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild |
| [00:51.38] |
|
| [00:51.63] |
When he knocked on my door and entered the room |
| [00:56.26] |
|
| [00:56.44] |
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace |
| [01:00.62] |
|
| [01:00.86] |
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand |
| [01:05.32] |
|
| [01:05.59] |
He wiped the tears that ran down my face |
| [01:11.60] |
|
| [01:12.31] |
They call me "The Wild Rose" |
| [01:19.00] |
|
| [01:19.40] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:23.90] |
|
| [01:24.12] |
Why they call me it I do not know |
| [01:31.02] |
|
| [01:31.23] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [01:35.89] |
|
| [01:36.12] |
On the second day I brought her a flower |
| [01:39.86] |
|
| [01:40.16] |
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen |
| [01:44.98] |
|
| [01:45.35] |
I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow |
| [01:49.83] |
|
| [01:50.18] |
So sweet and scarlet and free?' |
| [01:54.45] |
|
| [01:54.68] |
On the second day he came with a single rose |
| [01:58.96] |
|
| [01:59.21] |
Will you give me your loss and your sorrow? |
| [02:03.58] |
|
| [02:03.88] |
I nodded my head, as I layed on the bed |
| [02:08.13] |
|
| [02:08.38] |
If I show you the roses will you follow? |
| [02:14.74] |
|
| [02:15.51] |
They call me "The Wild Rose" |
| [02:21.63] |
|
| [02:21.99] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:27.01] |
|
| [02:27.35] |
Why they call me it I do not know |
| [02:33.74] |
|
| [02:33.95] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [02:38.36] |
|
| [02:38.64] |
On the third day he took me to the river |
| [02:43.35] |
|
| [02:43.59] |
He showed me the roses and we kissed |
| [02:47.26] |
|
| [02:47.59] |
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word |
| [02:52.33] |
|
| [02:52.91] |
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist |
| [02:57.32] |
|
| [02:57.64] |
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow |
| [03:00.99] |
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief |
| [03:10.83] |
|
| [03:10.97] |
As I kissed her goodbye, said, 'All beauty must die' |
| [03:14.72] |
|
| [03:14.91] |
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth |
| [03:21.29] |
|
| [03:21.82] |
They call me "The Wild Rose" |
| [03:27.83] |
|
| [03:28.06] |
But my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:33.14] |
|
| [03:33.37] |
Why they call me it I do not know |
| [03:38.92] |
|
| [03:40.12] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:44.96] |
|
| [03:45.16] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:49.30] |
|
| [03:49.74] |
For my name was Elisa Day |
| [03:55.68] |
