the lovely isle of innishfree - the irish rovers lyrics

[verse 1]
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 onto 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 innisfree

[verse 2]
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 innisfree

[verse 3]
i wander 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
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 knees their rosary is told
[verse 4]
but dreams don’t last
though dreams are not forgotten
and soon i’m back to stern reality
but though they paved the footways here with gold dust
i still would choose the isle of innisfree
