Nanci Griffith - From Clare To Here lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - From Clare To Here lyrics]
Four who shared this room
We were caught up in the craic
Sleeping late on Sundays and we
Never got to Mass
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 gets 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
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 gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
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
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 gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear the fiddles play
Maybe it's just a notion
I dream I see white horses
Dance upon that other ocean
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 gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
We were caught up in the craic
Sleeping late on Sundays and we
Never got to Mass
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 gets 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
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 gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
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
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 gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear the fiddles play
Maybe it's just a notion
I dream I see white horses
Dance upon that other ocean
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 gets further by the day
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
