Town I Loved So Well - Various Artists (欧美群星)[00:00:00]

In my memory I will always see[00:00:17]

The town that I have loved so well[00:00:26]

Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall[00:00:34]

And we laughed through the smoke and the smell [00:00:42]

Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:00:51]

Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:00:59]

Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:01:08]

In the town I loved so well [00:01:16]

In the early morning the shirt-factory horn[00:01:25]

Called women from Craigeen the Moor and the Bog[00:01:33]

While the man on the dole played the mother's role[00:01:42]

Fed the children and then trained the dogs [00:01:50]

And when times got tough[00:01:58]

There was just about enough[00:02:03]

But they saw it through without complaining[00:02:07]

For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:16]

For the town I loved so well [00:02:24]

There was music there in the Derry air[00:02:33]

Like a language that[00:02:41]

We all could understand[00:02:44]

I remember the day[00:02:50]

When I earned my first pay[00:02:53]

As I played in the small pick-up band [00:02:58]

There I spent my youth[00:03:06]

And to tell you the truth[00:03:10]

I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:15]

For I'd learned about life[00:03:23]

And I've found me a wife[00:03:28]

In the town I loved so well [00:03:32]

But when I returned[00:03:41]

How my eyes have burned[00:03:45]

To see how a town[00:03:49]

Could be brought to it's knees[00:03:53]

By the armoured cars[00:03:58]

And the bombed out bars[00:04:02]

And the gas that hangs[00:04:06]

On to every breeze[00:04:08]

Now the army's installed by[00:04:14]

That old gas yard wall[00:04:19]

And the damned barbed[00:04:23]

Wire gets higher and higher[00:04:25]

With their tanks and their guns[00:04:31]

Oh my god what have they done[00:04:36]

To the town I loved so well[00:04:40]

Now the music's gone but they carry on[00:04:48]

For their spirits been bruised never broken[00:04:57]

They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:05:05]

On tomorrow and peace once again[00:05:14]

For what's done is done and[00:05:22]

What's won is won[00:05:27]

And what's lost is lost and gone for ever[00:05:30]

I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:39]

In the town I love so well[00:05:48]

I can only pray for a bright brand-new day[00:05:56]

In the town I loved so well[00:06:04]
