The Isle Of Innisfree Lyrics - Mythology - Celtic Thunder

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 wonder o'er green hills 

Through dreamy valleys 

And find a peace 

No other land could know 

I hear the birds make music fit for angels 

And watch the rivers laughing 

As they flow 

Photos 

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 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 footways here with gold dust 

I still would choose 

The Isle of Inisfree 

I still would choose 

The Isle of Inisfree
