Wild Irish Rose Lyrics - U2

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Photos 

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
