From Clare To Here
(Ralph McTell)

There`s four who share this room
And we work hard for the craic
Sleepin` late on Sunday`s well I
Never get to mass

It`s a long, long way from Clare to here
It`s a long way-ay from Clare to here
It`s a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day
It`s a long, long way from Clare to here

When Friday comes around
Well we`re only into fighting
Mum would like a letter home, but
I`m too tired for writing

It almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I told I`d be coming home
With pockets full of green

The only time that I feel alright
Is when I`m into drinking
It`ll sort of ease the pain
And level out my thinking

Sometimes hear a `piper playing
Maybe it`s a notion
I dream I see white horses dancing
On that other ocean
