[ti:The Isle of Innisfree] [ar:Dermot O'Brien] [al:Evergreen - Irish American Favourites] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Isle of Innisfree - Dermot O'Brien [00:10.63]I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer [00:18.06] [00:19.66]And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say [00:26.59] [00:29.43]But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer [00:37.65] [00:39.31]When all the things he loves are far away [00:46.42] [00:48.86]And precious things are dreams unto an exile [00:56.03] [00:58.41]They take him o'er the land across the sea [01:05.22] [01:08.49]Especially when it happens he's an exile [01:16.24] [01:18.44]From that dear lovely isle of innisfree [01:25.25] [01:28.07]And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops [01:35.74] [01:37.53]Of this great city wondrous though it be [01:44.47] [01:47.16]I scarcely feel it's wonder or it's laughter [01:56.05] [01:56.79]I'm once again back home in innisfree [02:05.18] [02:16.58]I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys [02:25.21] [02:25.86]And find a peace no other land could know [02:32.88] [02:35.41]I hear the birds make music fit for angels [02:42.95] [02:45.34]And watch the rivers laughing as they flow [02:52.35] [02:55.39]And then into a humble shack I wander [03:02.18] [03:04.59]My dear own home so tenderly behold [03:11.20] [03:14.34]The folks I love around the turf fire gathered [03:21.79] [03:23.93]On bended knees their rosary is told [03:31.20] [03:33.67]But dreams don't last and dreams are soon forgotten [03:41.27] [03:43.24]When we soon are back to stern reality [03:50.34] [03:53.48]And though they pave the footpaths here with gold dust [04:01.41] [04:02.83]I still would choose my isle of inisfree [04:09.23] [04:12.88]I still would choose my isle of inisfree
