The Fureys- From Clare To Here

The Fureys- From Clare To Here



The Lyrics
Oh here's four who share this room as we work hard for the craic
 And getting up late on Sundays I never get to Mass 
It's a long way from Clare to here 
It's a long way from Clare to here 
Oh It's a long, long way, it grows further by the day 
It's a long way from Clare to here 
When Friday comes around he's 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 Josephine 
I promised her I'd be coming back with my pockets full of green
Chorus 
And the only time I feel alright is when I'm into drinking 
It  eases off the pain of it and levels out my thinking
Chorus 
I dream I hear a piper playing or maybe it's a notion 
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
Chorus
It's a long, long way from Clare to here.
