From Clare To Here Lyrics

(Ralph McTell)
Four who shared this room and we caught up in the CRAIC Sleeping late on Sundays and we never got to Mass
Chorus 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
Chorus
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/from-clare-to-here-lyrics-nanci-griffith.html ] 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
Chorus
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
Chorus
I sometimes hear the fiddles play, maybe it's just a notion I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
Chorus
