The Green Isle of Erin (1989 Digital Remastering)-John McCormack

[00:10.55]There is a voice in the silence [00:14.81]A voice ever calling [00:18.26]A voice like the song of a far distant sea [00:25.38]A music the soul [00:28.22]Of the wild breakers roaring [00:32.28]If floats like a dream [00:35.54]Over the waters to me [00:40.81]I hear it with tears [00:43.52]And a heart wildly beating [00:46.77]While far and alone [00:49.62]In a strange land I roam [00:53.68]And I weep as I list [00:56.93]And my prayers give it greeting [01:00.58]The voice of the green isle [01:04.85]My country and my home [01:10.13]Oh green isle of erin [01:14.80]That waits for me yonder [01:18.66]Though fate may decree [01:21.91]Tis forever be part [01:26.58]Still exiled and lonely [01:29.22]Where ere I may wander [01:32.68]The green isle of erin [01:37.96]Remains in my heart [02:05.58]There is nowhere a sea [02:09.04]Like the blue rippling ocean [02:12.90]That surges around [02:15.34]And beside that dear strand [02:20.00]Theres nowhere a star [02:22.85]That looks down in devotion [02:27.11]So bright as are those [02:30.37]That shine down on the land [02:34.26]With tears in my heart [02:37.88]Tears beyond all controlling [02:41.70]I wake and remember [02:44.55]An exile am i [02:48.20]And ipray as tho between us [02:51.65]The wide seas are roaring [02:55.31]To come home to thee [02:59.17]If is only to die [03:07.30]Oh green isle of erin [03:12.17]That waits for me yonder [03:15.83]Though fate may decree [03:19.28]Tis forever be part [03:23.95]Still exiled and lonely [03:26.79]Where ere I may wander [03:30.04]The green isle of erin [03:34.31]Remains in my heart
