From Clare To Here Lyrics - Other Voices, Other Rooms - Nanci Griffith

(Ralph McTell) 

 

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

Sleeping late on Sundays and we never got to Mass 

 

Chorus 

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 

 

Chorus 

 

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 

 

Chorus 

 

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 

 

Chorus 

 

I sometimes hear the fiddles play, maybe it's just a notion 

I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean 

 

Chorus
