lyrics

I used to call you my Wild Rose Girl
No other flower like yours could bloom
And paint my bleak heart with red desire
Your wild fire, your sweet perfume

When I'd lay you like a Tulip
Upon my bed to gently unfold
I'd pull your petals one-by-one 'till
I knew you'd love me 'till I grew old

But then I saw your vines wrapped around him
I caught you drinkin' from his well
You left a trail of fallen petals
Upon the bed where you done fell

And so I call you my Wandering Ivy
Cuz you went creepin' across the yard
You sunk your tendrils deep in my veins
And pulled the life from this tender heart

I used to call you my Floating Lilly
I could find shelter on your sill
Where you would bathe and slowly caress me
Slowly undress me and my will

But now my will, it's gone and broken
Like Poison Oak you have left me raw
And so your rash will itch and linger
Upon the finger that bound us by law

And so I call you my Wandering Ivy
Cuz you went creepin' yet again
So I will leave you to slowly whither
You lost your mister and my good name

Now that I call you my Wandering Ivy
I'll never call you My Girl again
I'll never call you My Girl again
I'll never call you My Girl again
