From Clare to Here [Ralph McTell Cover] lyrics

Now, four share the room

And they work hard for the crack

And gettin' up late on Sunday

I never get to mass

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

Oh, it's a long, long way

Gettin' further day by day

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

When Friday night comes 'round

We're always into fightin'

My mom would like a letter home

But I'm too tired for writin'

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

Oh, it's a long, long way

Gettin' further day by day

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

And the only time I feel alright

Is when I'm into drinkin'

It eases of the pain of it

And levels out my thinkin'

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

Oh, it's a long, long way

Gettin' further day by day

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

And it almost breaks my heart

When I think of Josephine

I promised I'd be coming back

With pockets full of green

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

Oh, it's a long, long way

Gettin' further day by day

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

I thought I heard a piper play

Maybe it's a notion

I dreamed I saw wild horses dance

Upon a foreign ocean

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

Oh, it's a long, long way

Gettin' further day by day

It's a long, long way from Clare to here

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
