From Clare To Here Lyrics - Seven Nations

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
