From Clare to Here Lyrics

There's four who share the room
And we work hard for the craic
And getting up late on Sunday's
I never get to mass

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here

When Friday night comes around
And he's only into fighting
My mum would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here

And the only time that I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It ease off the pain a bit
And levels out my thinking

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here

When it almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I promised I'd be coming back
With pockets full of green

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here

I dream I hear a 'piper playing
Maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses danc'
On that other ocean

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
