The Town I Loved So Well - Johnny Logan[00:00:00]
Written by:Coulter[00:00:03]
In my memory[00:00:16]
I will always see[00:00:21]
The town that I have loved so well[00:00:25]
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall[00:00:33]
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:41]
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:00:48]
Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:00:57]
Those were happy days in so very many ways[00:01:05]
In the town I have loved so well[00:01:13]
In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:01:21]
Called the women from creggan the Moor and the Bog[00:01:29]
While the men on the dole played a mothers role[00:01:37]
Fed the children and then trained the dog[00:01:45]
And when times got tough there was just about enough[00:01:53]
But they saw it through without complaining[00:02:01]
For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:09]
In the town I loved so well[00:02:17]
There was music there in the Derry air[00:02:25]
Like a language that we all could understand[00:02:33]
I remember the day when I earned my first pay[00:02:42]
And I played in a small pickup band[00:02:50]
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:02:57]
I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:05]
For I learned about life[00:03:13]
I'd found my self wife[00:03:18]
In the town I have loved so well[00:03:22]
But when I returned how my eyes have burned[00:03:30]
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:03:38]
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:03:46]
And the gas that hangs on to every tree[00:03:54]
Now the army's in stalled by that old gasyard wall[00:04:01]
And the d**ned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:04:09]
With their tanks and their guns[00:04:18]
Oh god look what have they done[00:04:21]
To the town I have loved so well[00:04:26]
Now the music's gone but they stay carry on[00:04:34]
For their spirit's been bruised never broken[00:04:42]
They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:04:50]
On tomorrow and peace once again[00:04:58]
For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:05:06]
And what's lost is lost and gone forever[00:05:14]
I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:22]
In the town I have loved so well[00:05:30]
