Four who shared this room and we caught up in the craic

Sleeping late on Sundays and we never got 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

When Friday comes around we're 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 gets further by the day

It's a long long way from Clare to here

It almost breaks my heart when I think of my family

I told them 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 gets further by the day

It's a long long way from Clare to here

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

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

I sometimes hear the fiddles play maybe it's just 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 gets further by the day

It's a long 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

It's a long long way from Clare to here
