This song is a story about a guy who is working a bit too much and not living at home. That sort of situation really stinks if you have a nice family and loved ones who end up far away.
Clare To Here
G D G D
Well there's four of us who share the room, we work hard for the brass
G D G D
And getting up late on Sunday, I never get to mass
Am G
It's a long long way from Clare to here
Am Em
It's a long long way from Clare to here
G D G D
Oh, it's a long long way, it gets further day by day
Am G
It's a long long way from Clare to here

I promised I'd be coming back with pockets full of green

And the only time I feel alright is when I'm into drinking

Oh it eases all the pain off it and levels out my thinking
CHORUS

I dream I hear a piper play, maybe it's emotion
G D G D
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
