Wedding Bells Lyrics

Want to ask you what you thought 

As you stood against that wall 
Go through it in my mind all day 

The moment that you fall 
Don't know if I'm angry, 

You chose Ireland over me 

But then that's what I loved in you, 
Your obsession to be free 

When we dreamt of wedding bells 
Would we've dreamt if we knew? 
That a marriage would never be ours 
They'd take that from us too 

I don't want this empty Ireland 
It's lonesome without you 
I'd stay shackled to a throne 
Instead of always missing you 

But then that’s what I loved in you 

Your longing to be free 

Your loyalty to your heart's cause 

Whatever it might be 

When we dreamt of wedding bells 
Would we've dreamt if knew? 
That a marriage would never be ours 
They'd take that from us too 

But I knew that you'd always proclaim 
To not stand up would bring you shame 
So I'll hope on for this Ireland, just for you 
And yeah I'd still dream of wedding bells 
I'd still dream if I knew, 

'Cause 15 minutes as your wife, 

was still a dream come true.
