The Town I Loved So Well (我曾深爱的小镇) - Brier[00:00:00]
In my memory I will always see[00:00:10]
The town that I have loved so well[00:00:19]
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall[00:00:28]
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:00:37]
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:00:46]
Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:00:55]
Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:01:04]
In the town I loved so well[00:01:13]
In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:01:22]
Called women from craigeen the moor and the bog[00:01:32]
While the man on the dole played the mother's role[00:01:40]
Fed the children and then walked the dogs[00:01:49]
And when times got tough there was just about enough[00:01:58]
But they saw it through without complaining[00:02:08]
For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:16]
For the town I loved so well[00:02:26]
There was music there in the derry air[00:02:35]
Like a language that we all could understand[00:02:44]
I remember the day that I earned my first pay[00:02:53]
When I played in the small pick up band[00:03:02]
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:03:11]
I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:03:20]
For I'd learned about life and I found a wife[00:03:29]
In the town I loved so well[00:03:38]
But when I returned how my eyes have burned[00:03:47]
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:03:57]
By the armored cars and the bombed out bars[00:04:06]
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:04:15]
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall[00:04:24]
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:04:33]
With their tanks and their guns oh my god what have they done[00:04:41]
To the town I loved so well[00:04:51]
Now the music's gone but they still carry on[00:05:00]
For their spirit's been bruised never broken[00:05:09]
They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:05:18]
For tomorrow and peace once again[00:05:27]
For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:05:36]
And what's lost is lost and gone forever[00:05:45]
I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:05:54]
In the town I loved so well[00:06:03]
