FROM CLARE TO HERE
Well there's four of us who share the room, we work hard for the brass
And getting up late on Sunday I never get to Mass
Chorus.
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oh it's a long, long way, it gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here.
When Friday night comes around and Eddy's into fighting
My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing
Chorus
And the only time I feel all right is when I'm into drinking
It eases off the pain a bit and levels out my thinking
Chorus
Well it almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I promised I'd be coming back with pockets full of green
Chorus
I dream I hear a piper play maybe its emotion
I dream I see white horses dance on that other ocean
Chorus
