Lyrics The Green Isle of Erin - John McCormack
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
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
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
Remains
in
my
heart
