I've met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer 
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say 
For sure a body's bound to be a dreamer 
When all the the things he loves are far away

And precious things are dreams unto an exile 
They take him through a land across sea 
Especially when it happens he's in 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 the beauty or the magic 
I'm once again back home in Inisfree

I wander o'er green hills and dreamy valleys 
And find a peace no other land could know 
I hear the birds make music fit for angels 
And see the rivers laughing as they flow.

And then into a humble shack I wander 
My own sweet 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 
When we are back to stern reality. 
And though they pave the footways here with gold dust 
I still would choose the Isle of Inisfree

I still would choose the Isle of Inisfree
