john kerr - the isle of innisfree lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve met some folk who say that i’m a dreamer
and i’ve no doubt there’s truth in what they say
for sure a body’s bound to be a dreamer
when all the the things he loves are far away
and precious things are dreams unto an exile
they take him through a land across sea
especially when it happens he’s in exile
from that dear lovely isle of innisfree

[verse 2]
and when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
of this great city, wondrous though it be
i scarcely feel thе beauty or the magic
i’m once again back homе in inisfree

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
i wander o’er green hills and dreamy valleys
and find a peace no other land could know
i hear the birds make music fit for angels
and see the rivers laughing as they flow
and then into a humble shack i wander
my own sweet home and tenderly behold
the folks i love around the turf fire gathered
on bended knees, their rosary is told
[chorus]
but dreams don’t last though dreams are not forgotten
when we are back to stern reality
and though they pave the footways here with gold dust
i still would choose the isle of innisfree
i still would choose the isle of innisfree
