Four who shared this room and we caught up in the CRAIC
Sleeping late on Sundays and we never got 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 gets further by the day
It`s a long, long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around we`re 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 gets further by the day
It`s a long, long way from Clare to here
It almost breaks my heart when I think of my family
I told them 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 gets further by the day
It`s a long, long way from Clare to here
The only time I feel alright is when I`m into drinking
It can sort of ease the pain of it and it 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 gets further by the day
It`s a long, long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear the fiddles play, maybe it`s just 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 gets further by the day
It`s a long, long way from Clare to here
