Chorus: [Kylie & Nick] 
They call me The Wild Rose 
But my name was Eliza Day 
Why they call me it I do not know 
For my name was Eliza Day 

[Nick:] 
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 bloody and wild 

[Kylie:] 
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 

(Kylie & Nick: Chorus) 

[Nick:] 
On the second day I brought her a flower 
She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen 
I said: "Do you know where the wild roses grow 
So sweet and scarlet and free?" 

[Kylie:] 
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 
"If I show you the roses will you follow?" 

(Kylie & Nick: Chorus) 

[Kylie:] 
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 

[Nick:] 
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow 
She lay on the bank, the wind lied as a thief 
And I kissed her goodbye, said "All beauty must die" 
And I lent down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth 

(Kylie & Nick: Chorus) 

My name was Eliza Day... 

For my name was Eliza Day...
