Lyrics From Clare to Here - Duke Special

Well there′s four who share the room as we work hard for the craic
Sleeping late on Sundays and we never get to Mass
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around Terry′s only into fighting
I promised ma a letter home but I'm too tired for writing
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It′s a long, long way from Clare to here
It′s a long, long way and 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 Josephine
I promised I′d be coming home with pockets full of green
And the only time I feel alright is when I'm into drinking
It sort of heals the pain a bit and levels out my thinking
It′s a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It′s a long, long way and it gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear a fiddle play, maybe it's a notion
I see the white horses dance upon that other ocean
It′s a long, long way from Clare to here
It′s a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way and it gets further by the day
It′s a long, long way from Clare to here
