Where The Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave
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
From the first day I met her I knew she was the one
As she [ . . . ] in my eyes and [ . . . ]
For her lips were the colour of the roses that grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he (1)________ on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and (2)________ a careful hand, he wiped up the (3)__________ that went down my face
They (4)________ me The Wild (5)________ but my name was Elisa Day

On the (7)____________ 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 smiled with a single rose
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?'
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
On the third 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 (8)________ a rock in his fist
On the last day I (9)________ her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the (10)________ 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
