There's four who share this room
We were caught up in the craic
Sleeping late on Sundays
And we never get 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
V2:
When Friday comes around
We're only into fighting
Ma would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing
V3:
It almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I told her 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
V4:
I sometimes hear a piper playing
Maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dancing
Upon that other ocean
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
