The Wolf Is Getting Married

Sinead O'Connor · Other Songs - Sinead O'Connor

I used to have no one else around me

I was too free, if that's possible to be

No safety, is what I mean

No solid foundation, to keep me.



But the sun is peeping out of the sky

Where it used to be only grey

The wolf is getting married

And he'll never cry again



Your smile, makes me smile

Your laugh, makes me laugh

Your joy, gives me joy

Your hope, gives me hope



And the sun is peeping out of the sky

Where it used to be only grey

The wolf is getting married

And he'll never cry again

Never cry again



Even when something

Terrible is happening

You laugh and that's the thing

I love about you most

[x2]



Your smile, makes me smile

Your hope, gives me hope



And the sun is peeping out of the sky

Where it used to be only grey

The wolf is getting married

And he'll never cry again
