From Clare To Here lyrics

Song information

Artist: Ralph Mctell
Album: From Clare To Here: The Songs Of Ralph Mctell

Lyrics

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

Chorus

It almost breaks my heart when I think of josephine
I told her I'd be coming home with my pockets full of green

Chorus

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

Chorus

I sometimes hear a fiddle play or maybe it's a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean

Chorus

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