[ti:Isle Of Innisfree] [ar:Davey Duffy] [al:25 Classic Irish Love Songs] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Isle of Innisfree - Davey Duffy [00:10.49]I've met some folks [00:12.68] [00:13.62]Who say that I'm a dreamer [00:17.06] [00:19.56]And I've no doubt [00:22.06] [00:22.74]There's truth in what they say [00:26.18] [00:28.84]Sure a body's bound to be a dreamer [00:36.22] [00:37.97]When all the things he loves are far away [00:44.84] [00:47.53]And precious things are dreams unto an exile [00:54.78] [00:56.53]They take him o'er the land across the sea [01:03.47] [01:05.84]Especially when it happens he's an exile [01:13.09] [01:14.90]From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree [01:21.78] [01:24.61]And when the moonlight peeps [01:28.73]Across the rooftops [01:32.05] [01:33.36]Of this great city wondrous though it be [01:40.48] [01:42.29]I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter [01:49.92] [01:51.86]I'm once again back home in Inisfree [01:58.98] [02:10.30]I wander o'er green hills [02:15.17]Through dreamy valleys [02:17.92] [02:19.55]And find a peace no other land would know [02:26.80] [02:28.23]I hear the birds make music fit for angels [02:36.54] [02:38.11]And watch the rivers laughing as they flow [02:45.48] [02:47.42]And then into a humble shack I wander [02:54.17] [02:56.48]My dear old home and tenderly behold [03:04.73] [03:05.73]The folks I love around the turf fire gathered [03:13.80] [03:14.92]On bended knees their rosary is told [03:22.05] [03:24.54]Dreams don't last [03:26.80] [03:27.86]Though dreams are not forgotten [03:31.04] [03:33.04]And soon I'm back to stern reality [03:40.04] [03:42.29]But though they pave [03:45.36] [03:46.43]The footways here with gold dust [03:50.12] [03:51.49]I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree [03:58.87] [04:01.30]Though they pave the footways here [04:06.80]With gold dust [04:09.11] [04:09.99]I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree
