In my memory i will always see[00:00:00]

The town that i have loved so well[00:00:11]

Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall[00:00:21]

And they laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:29]

Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:00:37]

Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:00:44]

Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:00:53]

In the town i loved so well[00:01:02]

In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:01:12]

Called women from creggan the moor and the bog[00:01:19]

While the men on the dole played a mother's role[00:01:27]

Fed the children and then walked the dog[00:01:33]

And when times got tough there was just about enough[00:01:41]

And they saw it through without complaining[00:01:48]

For deep inside was a burning pride[00:01:56]

In the town i loved so well[00:02:05]

There was music there in the derry air[00:02:17]

Like a language that we all could understand[00:02:26]

I remember the day that i earned my first pay[00:02:35]

When i played in a small pick up band[00:02:42]

There i spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:02:50]

I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:02:57]

For i learned about life and i found a wife[00:03:06]

In the town i loved so well[00:03:15]

But when i returned how my eyes have burned[00:03:26]

To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:03:34]

By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:03:41]

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:03:47]

Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall[00:03:57]

And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:04:04]

With their tanks and their guns[00:04:12]

Oh my god what have they done[00:04:17]

To the town i loved so well[00:04:22]

Now the music's gone but they carry on[00:04:34]

For their spirits been bruised never broken[00:04:42]

They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:04:51]

On tomorrow and peace once again[00:04:58]

For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:05:07]

And what's lost is lost and gone for ever[00:05:14]

I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:21]

In the town i love so well[00:05:30]
