From Clare To Here lyrics

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



Chorus



It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine

I told her I`d be coming home with my pockets full of green



Chorus



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



Chorus



I sometimes hear a fiddle play or maybe it`s a notion

I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean



Chorus



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