No. As already noted above, same title, but a different song. Here are the lyrics to Gary Moore's version. Quite a tragic song. A man was wrongly accused of robbery and sent to prison. He could have proven he hadn't done it, because he had been with his friend's wife. But to say so would have caused her great harm, so he kept her name out of it.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
