[1][2] | (Ralph McTell) (Craic or crack is a term for fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland. It is often used with the definite article – the craic. Some linguistic historians assert that craic was borrowed into Irish from the English language expression crack in the mid-20th century, and the Irish spelling was then reborrowed into English.) |
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 | |
