(feat. Nick Cave)
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name is Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name is Elisa Day
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 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 at the tears that ran down my face
[Chorus]
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
"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
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Hauntingly beautiful, really there's not much more to say .... | Reviewer: Isobel De | 4/5/12
Hauntingly beautiful in every possible way - this film clip completely captured me (in pretty much the same way as Nick Cave did when I first heard him sing 'Shivers'- 'Dogs in Space' at the Astor - St.Kilda 1987, but that's another story ...) & as I found myself reminiscing about a time in my life when I was young, innocent, open and beautiful (so beautiful in fact that as I traveled around Europe in 1986/7 many people told me that I reminded them of you Kylie ... aah but that's another story too). Thank you guys for reminding me that love is timeless, and for making me believe that, you know ... who knows? Maybe my 'wild rose' lover will one day take me down to the river ... and make me sing like you guys do - hey, who knows? May God bless you both,
love from (the real) Isobel De ...

To the very last of it... On the last chorus... It extends.
