WILD IRISH ROSE - U2

WILD IRISH ROSE

 In a field by a river 
my love and I did lie 
And on my naked shoulder 
she too proud to cry 
She said that I must leave her 
an icy tear she froze 
How could I melt the heart 
Of a Wild Irish Rose 
 
 
Well a gypsy she has made of me 
A servent of the street 
And back to bed I've travelled 
To taste a love as sweet 
Well the heart it knows no reasons 
And reason never knows 
As I lie with them I'm thinking 
Of a Wild Irish Rose 
 
 
Well I saw the city of angels 
It brought a devil out in me 
And Hell's hotel on Sunset 
Showed a whore no mercy 
As the orange sky was screaming 
From the roof I let her go 
These are the dizzying heights that brought me 
My Wild Irish Rose 
 
 
Now red is the rose 
That she layed on my grave 
A life is what she wanted 
And a life I surely gave 
Like a hundred men before me 
They lay lying here in rows 
Young men, bloody 
As a Wild Irish Rose
