The Town I Loved So Well (我曾深爱的小镇) - Paddy Reilly/Davey Arthur[00:00:00]

In my memory[00:00:01]

I will always see[00:00:05]

The town that I[00:00:10]

Have loved[00:00:15]

So well[00:00:17]

Where our schools[00:00:19]

Played ball[00:00:21]

By the gas yard wall[00:00:24]

And they laughed[00:00:28]

Through the smoke[00:00:30]

And the smell[00:00:32]

Going home in the rain[00:00:36]

Running up the dark lane[00:00:41]

Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:00:46]

Those were happy days[00:00:55]

In so many many ways[00:00:59]

In the town[00:01:03]

I loved so well[00:01:06]

In the early morning[00:01:12]

The shirt factory horn[00:01:17]

Called women from creggan[00:01:21]

The moor and the bog[00:01:26]

While the men on the dole[00:01:30]

Played a mother's role[00:01:34]

Fed the children and then walked the dog[00:01:39]

And when times got rough[00:01:47]

There was just about enough[00:01:52]

But they saw it through without complaining[00:01:56]

For deep inside[00:02:06]

Was a burning pride[00:02:10]

For the town[00:02:15]

I loved[00:02:17]

So well[00:02:19]

There was music there[00:02:24]

In the derry air[00:02:28]

Like a language[00:02:32]

That we[00:02:35]

Could all understand[00:02:37]

I remember the day[00:02:42]

What I earned of my first pay[00:02:46]

As I played[00:02:51]

In a small pick up band[00:02:53]

There I spent[00:02:59]

My youth[00:03:02]

And to tell you the truth[00:03:04]

I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:08]

For I learned[00:03:18]

About life[00:03:20]

And I found the wife[00:03:22]

In the town[00:03:27]

I loved so well[00:03:29]

But when I returned[00:03:36]

How my eyes where burned[00:03:40]

To see how a town[00:03:45]

Could be brought[00:03:50]

To it's knees[00:03:52]

By the armoured cars[00:03:54]

And the bombed out bars[00:03:58]

And the gas[00:04:03]

That hangs on to every breeze[00:04:05]

Now the army's installed[00:04:11]

By that old gas yard wall[00:04:16]

And the damned barbed wire gets[00:04:21]

Higher and higher[00:04:25]

With their tanks[00:04:30]

And guns[00:04:32]

Oh my God[00:04:35]

What have they done[00:04:36]

To the town[00:04:39]

I loved so well[00:04:41]

Now the music's gone[00:04:48]

But they carry on[00:04:53]

For their spirits been bruised[00:04:58]

Never broken[00:05:02]

They will not forget[00:05:07]

Still their hearts[00:05:11]

Are set[00:05:13]

On tomorrow and peace[00:05:16]

Once again[00:05:20]

For what's done is done[00:05:25]

And what's won is won[00:05:29]

And what's lost is lost[00:05:34]

And gone forever[00:05:38]

I can only pray[00:05:44]

For the bright[00:05:48]

Brand new day[00:05:51]

In the town[00:05:53]

I love[00:05:55]

So well[00:05:57]
