    Lyrics :
    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 Inisfree.
    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 Inisfree.
    I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys,
    And find a peace no other land would 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 my Isle of Inisfree.

    All of the current and former members of Celtic Woman are lovely, and they all sing like angels, but there is something (beyond her harp and her alto range) special about Orla. This lady simply radiates class. Fortunately, she still records and tours, so we haven't lost her. Look up the "My Land" CD.

    This made me cry. Makes me think of my hunting camp in the Catskill mountains of NY, where some of my most fond memories have been made with a group of the most precious older gentlemen I know. It's still my most favorite place on earth: a little shack with an old wood stove, and a table where we gather in the evenings and tell stories. The second half of this song really expresses my feelings.

And if my wife’s observations are accurate, I’ve got some Neanderthal in me, as well. So like most Americans, I’m a mutt. That said, this music is beautiful. It soothes that Neanderthal in me and plucks at my Celtic heart strings.

    I recognized this as part of the soundtrack to John Wayne's "The Quiet Man" but I've never heard it sung and played as beautifully as this. THIS is an IMPECCABLE arrangement and I thank you for posting it.

    The very definition of the word Lovely! The longing for home in that very last note, amazing, moving.

    I sometimes listen to this when I go to sleep... Such beautiful images float in my mind when she sings this song...

    This is my favorite song from Orla. I hope she returns to Celtic Woman eventually.

    I listened to this song in English class since my teacher wanted us to find the similarities and differences between this song and the poem "The lake isle of Innisfree" (By William Butler Yeats). I had to hide my face because I almost cried when listening to this song. I felt like it was talking about my dream.
