[00:09.07]There's four who share this room and we work hard for the craic
[00:17.15]And sleep in late on Sundays I never get to Mass
[00:25.26]It's a long way from Clare to here
[00:33.36]It's a long way from Clare to here
[00:41.45]It's a long, long way, it gets farther by the day
[00:49.56]It's a long way from Clare to here
[00:58.62]When Friday comes around Ted is only into fighting
[01:06.79]My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing
[01:14.83]It's a long way from Clare to here
[01:22.95]It's a long way from Clare to here
[01:32.04]It's a long, long way, it gets farther by the day
[01:40.18]It's a long way from Clare to here
[01:48.23]And the only time I feel alright is when I'm into drinking
[01:56.32]It sort of eases the pain of it and levels out my thinking
[02:04.44]It's a long way from Clare to here
[02:12.60]It's a long way from Clare to here
[02:21.68]It's a long, long way, it gets farther by the day
[02:29.77]It's a long way from Clare to here
[02:46.82]It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
[02:55.03]I told her I'd be coming home with my pockets full of green
[03:03.12]It's a long way from Clare to here
[03:11.21]It's a long way from Clare to here
[03:19.39]It's a long, long way, it gets farther by the day
[03:27.41]It's a long way from Clare to here
[03:36.53]I think I hear a fiddle play or maybe it's a notion
[03:45.27]I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
[03:53.35]It's a long way from Clare to here
[04:00.52]It's a long way from Clare to here
[04:09.62]It's a long, long way, it gets farther by the day
[04:17.79]It's a long way from Clare to here
