Lyrics Where the Wild Roses Grow - Gregorian
Wild
rose
From
the
first
day
I
saw
her
I
knew
she
was
the
one
As
she
stared
in
my
eyes
and
smiled
For
her
lips
were
the
color
of
the
roses
They
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
the
tears
that
ran
down
my
face
They
call
me
The
Wild
Rose
But
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
Why
they
call
me
that
I
do
not
know
For
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
On
the
second
day
I
brought
her
a
flower
She
was
more
beautiful
than
any
woman
I'd
seen
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:
"Will
you
give
me
your
loss
and
your
sorrow?"
I
nodded
my
head,
as
I
lay
on
the
bed
He
said,
"If
I
show
you
the
roses
will
you
follow?"
They
call
me
The
Wild
Rose
But
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
Why
they
call
me
that
I
do
not
know
For
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
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
stood
smiling
above
me
with
a
rock
in
his
fist
On
the
last
day
I
took
her
where
the
wild
roses
grow
And
she
lay
on
the
bank,
the
wind
light
as
a
thief
As
I
kissed
her
goodbye,
I
said,
"All
beauty
must
die"
And
I
lent
down
and
planted
a
rose
between
her
teeth
They
call
me
The
Wild
Rose
But
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
Why
they
call
me
that
I
do
not
know
For
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
For
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
For
my
name
was
Elisa
Day
