cpw@giga.com.pl Lyr Req: Isle of Innisfree (17) Lyr Add: ISLE OF INNISFREE (Richard Farrelly) 19 Nov 96


I know "Isle of Innisfree" very well, but without the verse you've listed.
This song is of Richard Farrelly, Copyright 1950, The Peter Maurice Music Co Ltd, London.

ISLE OF INNISFREE

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 tho' it be
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
I'm once again back home in 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 laugh as they flow.

But dreams don't last, though dreams are not forgotten
And soon I'm back to stern reality
But though they pave the footpaths here with gold-dust
I still would choose my Isle of Innsifree.

Lovely tune, isn't it ????
If you need guitar chords or a music sheet, let me know here at DT or by e-mail.
Bye
