There's four that share this room, we work hard for the 

crack

Sleeping late on Sundays, I never get to mass



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, it grows further by the day

It's a long long way from Clare to here



Friday rolls around we always end up fighting

My ma would like a letter soon, 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, it grows further by the day

It's a long long way from Clare to here



It almost breaks my heart when I think of sweet 


Morrine.

I told her I'd be coming back my pockets full of green.



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, it grows further by the day

It's a long long way from Clare to here



I sometimes hear a fiddle play, or maybe it's just a 

notion

I dreamed I see white horses dance on 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, it grows further by the day

It's a long long way from Clare to here



It's a long long way from Clare to here
