about

This song was inspired by Grace Giffords short marriage to Joseph Plunkett. They were married the night before his execution & spent 15 minutes supervised time together after the wedding.

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 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 hearts 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 on wedding bells
Id still dream if I knew,
Cause 15 minutes as your wife was still a dream come true.
