The Town I Loved So Well (我曾深爱的小镇) - Shannon Singers[00:00:00]
In my memory i will always see[00:00:21]
The town that i have loved so well[00:00:30]
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall[00:00:39]
And they laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:48]
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:00:57]
Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:01:06]
Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:01:15]
In the town i loved so well[00:01:24]
In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:01:33]
Called women from creggan the moor and the bog[00:01:42]
While the men on the dole played a mother's role[00:01:51]
Fed the children and then walked the dog[00:02:00]
And when times got tough there was just about enough[00:02:09]
And they saw it through without complaining[00:02:18]
For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:27]
In the town i loved so well[00:02:36]
There was music there in the derry air[00:02:55]
Like a language that we all could understand[00:03:03]
I remember the day that i earned my first pay[00:03:13]
When i played in a small pick up band[00:03:22]
There i spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:03:31]
I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:40]
For i learned about life and i found a wife[00:03:49]
In the town i loved so well[00:03:58]
But when i returned how my eyes have burned[00:04:07]
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:04:16]
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:04:25]
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:04:34]
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall[00:04:43]
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:04:52]
With their tanks and their guns[00:05:01]
Oh my god what have they done[00:05:06]
To the town i loved so well[00:05:10]
Now the music's gone but they carry on[00:05:19]
For their spirits been bruised never broken[00:05:28]
They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:05:37]
On tomorrow and peace once again[00:05:46]
For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:05:55]
And what's lost is lost and gone for ever[00:06:04]
I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:06:13]
In the town i love so well[00:06:22]
