Lyrics( My style):
Miki:
Dad calls me The Wild Rose
But my name was M.I
Why he calls me it I do not know
For my name was M.I
Dad:
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
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild
Miki:
When dad knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
So he is my dad, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face
CHORUS
Dad:
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?'
Miki:
On the second day he came with a single rose
Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as he hit me from the bed
He said, 'If I show you the roses will you follow?'
CHORUS
Miki:
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and said he missed
And the last thing I heard was a insulting word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
Dad:
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 my running blood must die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
