The Town I Loved so Well (我曾深爱的小镇) - Luke Kelly[00:00:00]

In my memory I will always see[00:00:33]

The town that I have loved so well[00:00:43]

Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall[00:00:52]

And we laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:01:02]

Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:01:11]

Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:01:21]

Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:01:30]

In the town I have loves so well[00:01:40]

In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:01:50]

Called women from Craigeen the moor and the bog[00:01:59]

While the man on the dole played the mother's role[00:02:09]

Fed the children and then trained the dogs[00:02:18]

And when times got tough there was just about enough[00:02:28]

But they saw it through without complaining[00:02:37]

For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:47]

In the town I loved so well[00:02:57]

There was music there in the deary air[00:03:06]

Like a language that we could all understand[00:03:16]

I remember the day when I earned my first pay[00:03:26]

When I played in the small pick up band[00:03:35]

There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:03:45]

I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:55]

For I'd learned about life and I've found a wife[00:04:05]

In the town I loved so well[00:04:15]

But when I returned how my eyes have burned[00:05:04]

To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:05:14]

By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:05:24]

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:05:34]

Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall[00:05:43]

And the da*ned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:05:54]

With their tanks and their guns oh my God what have they done[00:06:03]

To the town I loved so well[00:06:13]

Now the music's gone but I carry on[00:06:23]

For their spirit's been gone never broken[00:06:33]

They will not forget and their hearts are all set[00:06:43]

On tomorrow and peace once again[00:06:53]

For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:07:03]

And what's lost is lost and gone forever[00:07:13]

They can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:07:23]

In the town I loved so well[00:07:34]
