Where The Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave
They (1)________ me The (2)________ (3)________ but my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not (4)________ for my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I met her I knew she was the one
As she [ . . . ] in my eyes and [ . . . ]
For her lips were the (5)____________ of the (6)__________ that grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he (7)________ on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He (8)__________ be my (9)__________ man, and with a careful hand, he wiped up the tears that (10)________ down my face
They (11)________ me The (12)________ Rose but my name was (13)__________ Day
Why they call me it 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 (14)________ roses (15)________ so (16)__________ and scarlet and free?'
On the second day he (17)____________ with a single rose
Said: 'Will you give me your (18)________ and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
'If I show you the roses will you follow?'
They call me The (19)________ (20)________ but my (21)________ was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know for my name was Elisa Day
On the (22)__________ day he took me to the river
He gave 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 (23)________ her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the (24)________ light as a thief
As I told her goodbye, said, 'All beauty must die'
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
Why they call me it I do not (4)________ for my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I met her I knew she was the one
As she [ . . . ] in my eyes and [ . . . ]
