Written by:Phil Couter[00:00:00]

In my memories I will always see[00:00:00]
The town that I have loved so well[00:00:09]
Where our school played ball by the old gas yard wall[00:00:18]
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:27]
Going home in the rain running down the dark lane[00:00:36]
Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:00:44]
Those were happy days in so many ways[00:00:53]
In the town I loved so well[00:01:02]
There was music there in that deary air[00:01:11]
Like a language that we we all could understand[00:01:20]
I was pride on the day that I earned my first pay[00:01:29]
When I played in a small pick up band[00:01:37]
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:01:46]
I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:01:55]
For I learned about life and I found a wife[00:02:03]
In the town I loved so well[00:02:13]
But when I returned how my eyes were burned[00:02:39]
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:02:48]
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:02:57]
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:03:05]
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall[00:03:14]
And the d**ned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:03:23]
With their tanks and guns oh god what have they done[00:03:31]
To the town I loved so well[00:03:41]
Now the music's gone but they carry on[00:04:07]
For their spirit's been bruised never broken[00:04:16]
They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:04:25]
On tomorrow and peace once again[00:04:34]
For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:04:42]
And what's lost is lost and gone forever[00:04:51]
I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:00]
In the town I loved so well[00:05:09]
I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:17]
In the town I loved so well[00:05:26]
