Artist/Band: Nanci Griffith
Lyrics for Song: From Clare To Here
Lyrics for Album: Other Voices Other Rooms [1993]



(Ralph McTell)



Four who shared this room and we caught up in the CRAIC

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 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



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
