For me however, the saddest is:

Nick Cave -> "Where the wild roses grow"


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 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

When he knocked on my door and he 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

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 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?"

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?

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 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

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow, she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said "all beauty must die", and lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

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
