Paddy Goes To Holyhead - From Clare To Here

From Clare To Here

Well there´s four who share the room
and we work hard for the crack
Getting up late on Sunday
I never go to mass

When Friday night comes around
and he´s only in the fighting
My ma would like a letter home
but I´m too tired for writing

Well it almost breaks my heart
when I think of Josephine
I promised I´d be coming home
with pockets full of green

I dream I hera a piper play
maybe it´s emotion
I dream I see white horses dance
upon that other ocean

It´s a long long way from Clare to here
It´s a long long way from Clare to here
Oh, it´s a long long way
it gets further day by day
It´s a long long way from Clare to here
