Lyrics
on the second day he came with a single red rose
when he knocked on my door and entered the room
Said will you give me your loss and your sorrow ?, and she lay on the bank, for my name is elisa day
so sweet and scarlet and free ?
For her lips were the colour of the roses, said will you give me your loss and your sorrow ?
If i show you the roses will you follow ?, as i kissed her goodbye
From the first day i saw her i knew she was the one, when he knocked on my door and entered the room
As she stared in my eyes and smiled, so sweet and scarlet and free ? Wild, as he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
all bloody and wild
So sweet and scarlet and free ?, my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
he would be my first man
On the last day i took her where the wild roses grow, he showed me the roses and we kissed
all bloody and wild
the wind light as a thief
She was more beautiful than any woman i d seen, and with a careful hand, on the second day i brought her a flower
On the second day i brought her a flower, as i kissed her goodbye
He wiped at the tears that run down my face, and she lay on the bank
that grew down the river
all beauty must die and lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
When he knocked on my door and entered the room, my trembling subsided in his sure embrace, on the second day he came with a single red rose
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist, on the last day i took her where the wild roses grow
Do you know where the wild roses grow, on the third day he took me to the river
and the last thing i heard was a muttered word
all beauty must die and lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
For her lips were the colour of the roses, but my name is elisa day
He wiped at the tears that run down my face, he wiped at the tears that run down my face
On the second day i brought her a flower, he wiped at the tears that run down my face
Why they call me i do not know, if i show you the roses will you follow ?
On the last day i took her where the wild roses grow, my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
For her lips were the colour of the roses, on the second day he came with a single red rose, and the last thing i heard was a muttered word
And the last thing i heard was a muttered word, why they call me i do not know Roses, on the second day i brought her a flower
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist, when he knocked on my door and entered the room, my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
why they call me i do not know
Why they call me i do not know, the wind light as a thief
for my name is elisa day
He showed me the roses and we kissed, and with a careful hand, why they call me i do not know
And she lay on the bank, all bloody and wild
all beauty must die and lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
For her lips were the colour of the roses, as she stared in my eyes and smiled
That grew down the river, do you know where the wild roses grow, all bloody and wild
If i show you the roses will you follow ?, he would be my first man Where, he wiped at the tears that run down my face
So sweet and scarlet and free ?, my trembling subsided in his sure embrace
And with a careful hand, from the first day i saw her i knew she was the one
He showed me the roses and we kissed, for her lips were the colour of the roses, from the first day i saw her i knew she was the one
