Isle Of Innisfree Lyrics

 

I've met some folks

 

Who say that I'm a dreamer

 

And I've no doubt

 

There's truth in what they say

 

But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer

 

When all the things he loves are far away

 

And precious things

Are dreams unto an exile

 

They take him over

The land across the sea

 

Especially when it happens he's an exile

 

From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree

 

And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops

 

Of this great city

Wondrous though it be

 

I scarcely feel it's wonder or it's laughter

 

I'm once again back home in Inisfree

 

I wonder over green hills

Through dreamy valleys

 

And find a peace

No other land would know

 

The folks I love

Around the turf fire gathered

 

On bended knee

 

Their rosary is told

 

But dreams don't last

Though dreams are not forgotten

 

And soon I'm back to stern reality

 

But though they pave

 

The foot ways here with gold dust

 

 

I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree
