The Isle Of Innisfree 1950 Vs2

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 Innisfree.

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.

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.

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 Innisfree.
