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 o'er 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 its wonder or its laughter.. I'm once again back home in inisfree
I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys And find a peace no other land would know I hear the birds make music fit for angels And watch the rivers laughing as they flow And then into a humble shack I wander -- My dear old home -- and tenderly behold The folks I love around the turf fire, gathered On bended knees, 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 footways here with gold dust I still would choose the isle of inisfree
