home, but I'm too tired for writing And it's a long way from Clare to here It's a long way from Clare from here It's a long, long way, gets further by the day It's a long, long way from Clare to here It almost breaks my heart when I think of my family I told them I'd be coming home with my pockets full of greens And it's a long way from Clare to here It's a long way from Clare from here It's a long, long way, gets further by the day It's a long, long way from Clare to here F G C - G C The only time I feel all right is when I'm into drinking F G C - G/B Am - Am/G It can sort of ease the pain of it and it levels out my thinking And it's a long way from Clare to here It's a long way from Clare from here It's a long, long way, 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 And it's a long way from Clare to here It's a long way from Clare from here It's a long, long way, gets further by the day It's a long, long way from Clare to here It's a long, long way, gets further by the day It's a long, long way from Clare to here It's a long, long way from
