From Clare to Here Songtext

From Clare To Here

Well there's four who share the room
And we work hard for the crack
Getting up late on Sunday
I never go to mass

When Friday night comes around
And he's only in the fighting
My ma would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing

Well it almost breaks my heart
When I think of Josephine
I promised I'd be coming home
With pockets full of green

I dream I hera a piper play
Maybe it's emotion
I dream I see white horses dance
Upon that other ocean

It's a long long way from Clare to here
It's a long long way from Clare to here
Oh, it's a long long way
It gets further day by day
It's a long long way from Clare to here
