From Clare To Here lyrics

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 almost breaks my heart when I think of my family I told them I'd be coming home with my pockets full of green 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 I sometimes hear the fiddles play, maybe it's just a notion I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
