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
