schöngeist - where the wild roses grow lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
they call me the wild rose
but my name was elisa day
why they call me it i do not know
for my name was elisa day

[verse 1]
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 bl++dy and wild
[verse 2]
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 at the tears that ran down my face

[chorus]
they call me the wild rose
but my name was elisa day
why they call me it i do not know
for my name was elisa day

[verse 3]
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?’

[verse 4]
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
he said, ‘if i show you the roses will you follow?’

[chorus]
they call me the wild rose
but my name was elisa day
why they call me it i do not know
for my name was elisa day
[verse 5]
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

[verse 6]
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, said, ‘all beauty must die’
and lent down and planted a rose between her t++th

[outro]
they call me the wild rose
but my name was elisa day
why they call me it i do not know
for my name was elisa day
my name was elisa day
for my name was elisa day
