Rose Tattoo - I Wish Lyrics

Met a man from Ireland
Drinkin' in a bar
Although his voice was soft and warm
His eyes were cold and har-ard
He spoke of Irish children
Knowing only war
I wish I could have know-own him better
I might have understood it a-all

I wish where was something I could say-ay
Something to ease the pain away

I hear the voice of Poland
It's calling out to me
Sighing, crying, dying to be free-ee
Their streets are full of armour
Their eyes are full of tears
Must they live this life of sadness
For year-ears and years and years

I wish where was something I could say-ay
Something to ease the pain away
Something to ease the pain away

Mmm, mm-mmm
I wish I was a hero
Fighting for the rights of man
Wish I was a tribesman in
In the hills of Afghanistan
I wish I was a so-oldier
Fighting for the peace
Fighting down in El Salvador
Fighting insanity, inhumanity

I wish there was something I could say-ay
Something to ease the pain away
I wish where was something I could say-ay
Something to ease the pain away
Oh you know I wish there was something I could say-ay
Something to ease the pain away
I wish there was something I could say-ay
Something to ease the pain away...
