I've met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer

And there's no doubt there's truth in what they say

For 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 over the land, across the sea

Especially when it happens he's an exile

From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree.

I watch the the moonlight peep 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 and sleepy valleys

And find a peace no other land could know

I hear the birds make music fit for angels

And watch the waters laughing as they go.

But dreams don't last

Though dreams are not forgotten

And soon I'm back to stern reality.

And though they paved the footpaths here with gold dust

I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree.

I still would choose my Isle of Inishfree.

There is no doubt in my mind that charlie is the best of all the artists that have sung this song. His voice is really beautiful and conveys that strong emotion of the love for Ireland in every Irish exiles heart including myself. I now reside in california but I still hang on to my irishness and my roots and Charlie strengthens those with his rendition of Innisfree.Dessie Marley

It just doesn't get better than this. I thought I did a pretty good version of this but when I heard Charlie, I melted through the floor.

Very moving arrangement of this wonderful song (Lyrics by Richard Farrelly, perhaps inspired by "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats; tune: "Dreams of Alwyn")
