Tekst piosenki
There's four who share this room and we we work hard for the craic
Sleeping late on Sundays, well 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 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
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 day by day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
Told her I'd be coming home with pockets full of green
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long long way 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
Only time that I feel alright is when I'm into drinking
It'll sort of ease the pain and level 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 day by day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear a piper play, and maybe it's 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 day by day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
