"From Clare To Here" lyrics - NANCI GRIFFITH
Four who shared this room and
We were caught up in the crack
Sleeping late on Sundays
And we never got to Mass
[Chorus:]
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 get's further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around
We're 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 my family
I told them I'd be coming home with my
Pockets full of green
[Chorus]
The only time I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It can sort of ease the pain of it and it
Levels out my thinking
[Chorus]
I sometimes hear the fiddles play,
Maybe it's just a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon
That other ocean
[Chorus]
