The Furey Brothers - From Clare To Here lyrics

rate me

There's four who share the room<br />

And we work hard for the craic<br />

And getting up late on Sunday's<br />

I never get to mass<br />

<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

<br />

When Friday night comes around<br />

And he's only into fighting<br />

My mum would like a letter home<br />

But I'm too tired for writing<br />

<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

<br />

And the only time that I feel alright<br />

Is when I'm into drinking<br />

It ease off the pain a bit<br />

And levels out my thinking<br />

<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

<br />

When it almost breaks my heart<br />

When I think of Josephine<br />

I promised I'd be coming back<br />

With pockets full of green<br />

<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

<br />

I dream I hear a 'piper playing<br />

Maybe it's a notion<br />

I dream I see white horses danc'<br />

On that other ocean<br />

<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here<br />

Oo, It's a long, long way; it gets further day-by-day<br />

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
