Lyrics

From clare to here
(Ralph mctell)

There's four who share this room
And we work hard for the craic
Sleepin' late on sunday's well i
Never get to mass

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

When friday comes around
Well we're only into fighting
Mum would like a letter home, but
I'm too tired for writing

It almost breaks my heart
When I think of josephine
I told I'd be coming home
With pockets full of green

The only time that I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It'll sort of ease the pain
And level out my thinking

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