Lyrics to The Green Isle Of Erin
The Green Isle Of Erin Video:
There is a voice in the silence A voice ever calling A voice like the song of a far distant sea A music the soul Of the wild breakers roaring If floats like a dream O'er the waters to me I hear it with tears And a heart wildly beating While far and alone In a strange land I roam And I weep as I list And my prayers give it greeting The voice of the green Isle My country and my home Oh green isle of Erin That waits for me yonder Though fate may decree T'is forever be part Still exiled and lonely Where ere I may wander The green Isle of Erin Remains in my heart There is nowhere a sea Like the blue rippling ocean That surges around And beside that dear strand There's nowhere a star That looks down in devotion So bright as are those That shine down on the land Oh green isle of Erin That waits for me yonder Though fate may decree T'is forever be part Still exiled and lonely Where ere I may wander The green Isle of Erin Remains in my heart With tears in my heart Tears beyond all controlling I wake and remember An exile am I And Ipray as tho' between us The wide seas are roaring To come home to thee It is only to die Oh green isle of Erin That waits for me yonder Though fate may decree T'is forever be part Still exiled and lonely Where ere I may wander The green Isle of Erin Remains in my heart
