| 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 |
