U2 - Wild Irish Rose

The lyrics to the song are as follows:
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 servant of the street
Back to bed I have traveled
To taste a love as sweet
Well the heart it knows no reasons
And reason never knows
As I lie with them I am thinking
Of my wild Irish rose
Well I saw the city of angels
It brought a devil out of me
In 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 dizzy heights that brought me
My wild Irish rose
Now wild is the rose
That she laid 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
Oooo ooo
Oooo ooo
Oooo ooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo

Irish songs Irish people Great island I love the irish people and is existence as people Im Portuguese with Proud. But, I confess: I Love your people. And we know like You know what is the sea....

It’s instantly recognisable, a Celtic vibe that both the Scots and the Irish share. 💚 🇮🇪 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Seeing U2 live in Scotland is a mass party but seeing U2 live on their home turf is a different animal altogether! It’s 2020 and I’m still a massive fan!

come back my wild irish rose

[@eamonndoohan8863]

it breaks my heart this song my mother was called rose

[@bre600]

It's about a potent alcoholic drink, nothing to do with a woman named Rose!

[@Horizon344]

Bit of misinterpretation here, the song apparently is about Hewson encountering a doss house in LA, & nothing to do with Ireland. Nice pic tho.

[@art198007]

What’s a “Doss House”? Like a Junkie den

[@Horizon344]

I saw the documentary, Bono states that Wild Irish rose is a potent alcoholic drink.
