From Clare To Here

There's four who share this room

as we work hard for the crack
And sleeping late on Sundays

I never get to Mass

It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way, it grows further

by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here

When Friday comes around

Terry's only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home

but I'm too tired for writing

It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way, it grows further

by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here

It almost breaks my heart when

I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming home with

my pockets full of green

It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way, it grows further

by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here

And the only time I feel alright

is when I'm into drinking
It sort of eases the pain of it

and levels out my thinking

It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way, it grows further

by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here

I sometimes hear a fiddle play

or maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dance

upon that other ocean

It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way, it grows further

by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way from Clare to here.
