Ralph McTell - From Clare to Here lyrics
[Ralph McTell - From Clare to Here lyrics]
There's four who share this room as
We work hard for the crack
And sleeping late on Sundays I
Never get 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around Terry's
Only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing
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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
It almost breaks my heart when
I think of Josephine
I told her 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
And the only time I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It sort of eases the pain of
It and 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear a fiddle play
Or maybe it's 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
We work hard for the crack
And sleeping late on Sundays I
Never get 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around Terry's
Only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home
But I'm too tired for writing
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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
It almost breaks my heart when
I think of Josephine
I told her 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
And the only time I feel alright
Is when I'm into drinking
It sort of eases the pain of
It and 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear a fiddle play
Or maybe it's 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 grows further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
