Celtic Woman movie - Isle Of Inisfree lyrics

rate me

<br>

I've met some folks <br>

Who say that I'm a dreamer <br>

And I've no doubt <br>

There's truth in what they say <br>

But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer <br>

When all the things he loves are far away <br>

<br>

And precious things <br>

Are dreams unto an exile <br>

They take him o'er <br>

The land across the sea <br>

Especially when it happens he's an exile <br>

From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree <br>

<br>

And when the moonlight <br>

Peeps across the rooftops <br>

Of this great city <br>

Wondrous though it be <br>

I scarcly feel its wonder or laughter <br>

I'm once again back home in Inisfree <br>

<br>

I wonder o'er green hills <br>

Through dreamy valleys <br>

And find a peace <br>

No other land would know <br>

I hear the birds make music fit for angels <br>

And watch the rivers laughing <br>

As they flow <br>

<br>

And then into a humble shack I wander-- <br>

My dear old home-- <br>

And tenderly behold <br>

The folks I love <br>

Around the turf fire gathered <br>

On bended knee <br>

Their rosary is told <br>

<br>

But dreams don't last <br>

Though dreams are not forgotten <br>

And soon I'm back <br>

To stern reality <br>

But though they pave <br>

The footways here with gold dust <br>

I still would choose <br>

My Isle of Inisfree<br>

<br>
