Emerald Isle. ( song ) . One ... day I will return to the emerald isle That I ..love Where I was born And my heart belongs To chase the pretty girls again And listen to the old ...folk songs…….. . For although I be a travelling man And my feet cannot stay still... So I roam…,,, I’ve yet to find A better place My heart can find a home…. . How I long…. To breath that air again…. And touch the emerald green Sit and watch the fishing boats Sail by Like as a boy I did And….. dream . How I miss the old.. pub in town And all the people I used to know….. I wonder how many are living now And how many underground . For although I be a travelling man And my feet cannot stay still So I roam…... I’ve yet to find A better place My heart can find a home……. . How I long…. To breath that air again And touch the emerald green…... Sit and watch the fishing boats Sail by Like as a boy I did And….. dream . One day I will return to the emerald isle…... That I love Where I was born…….. And my heart belongs To chase the pretty girls again And listen to the old ...folk songs . Peter Dome©2021.

We all have dreams. Sometimes we achieve them, sometimes not. That's life. ~~
