There's four who share this room
As we work hard for the crack
And sleeping late on Sundays
I 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around
Terry's 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
It almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I told her 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
And the only time I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It sort of eases the pain of it
And 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear a fiddle play
Or maybe it's 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
