FROM CLARE TO HERE (2)

There's four who share the room and we work hard for the craic
Getting up late on a Sunday, i never get to Mass

Chorus:
It's a long long way from Clare to here
It's a long long way from Clare to here
It's a long long way, it gets further every day
It's a long long way from Clare to here

When Friday night comes round, you'll always find me fighting
My ma would like a letter home, but I'm too tired for writing

Chorus

The only time I feel all right, is when I'm out drinking
it eases off the pain a bit and levels out my thinking

Chorus

It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming home, my pockets full of green

Chorus

I dreamt I heard a piper play - or was it just a notion
I dreamt I saw white horses dance upon that other ocean
