The Town I Loved So Well(Live) (Live) - Paddy Reilly[00:00:00]
In my memory i will always see[00:00:53]
The town that i have loved so well[00:01:02]
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall[00:01:11]
And they laughed through the smoke and the smell[00:01:19]
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane[00:01:28]
Past the jail and down behind the fountain[00:01:37]
Those were happy days in so many many ways[00:01:46]
In the town i loved so well[00:01:55]
In the early morning the shirt factory horn[00:02:04]
Called women from creggan the moor and the bog[00:02:13]
While the men on the dole played a mother's role[00:02:21]
Fed the children and then walked the dog[00:02:30]
And when times got tough there was just about enough[00:02:39]
And they saw it through without complaining[00:02:48]
For deep inside was a burning pride[00:02:57]
In the town i loved so well[00:03:06]
There was music there in the derry air[00:03:15]
Like a language that we all could understand[00:03:24]
I remember the day that i earned my first pay[00:03:33]
When i played in a small pick up band[00:03:42]
There i spent my youth and to tell you the truth[00:03:51]
I was sad to leave it all behind me[00:04:00]
For i learned about life and i found a wife[00:04:10]
In the town i loved so well[00:04:19]
But when i returned how my eyes have burned[00:04:28]
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees[00:04:37]
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars[00:04:46]
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze[00:04:55]
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall[00:05:03]
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher[00:05:13]
With their tanks and their guns[00:05:22]
Oh my god what have they done[00:05:27]
To the town i loved so well[00:05:31]
Now the music's gone but they carry on[00:05:40]
For their spirits been bruised never broken[00:05:49]
They will not forget but their hearts are set[00:05:59]
On tomorrow and peace once again[00:06:08]
For what's done is done and what's won is won[00:06:17]
And what's lost is lost and gone for ever[00:06:26]
I can only pray for a bright brand new day[00:06:36]
In the town i love so well[00:06:45]
