《The Town I Loved So Well》歌词

[00:00:00] In my memory i will always see

[00:00:11] The town that i have loved so well

[00:00:21] Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall

[00:00:29] And they laughed through the smoke and the smell

[00:00:37] Going home in the rain running up the dark lane

[00:00:44] Past the jail and down behind the fountain

[00:00:53] Those were happy days in so many many ways

[00:01:02] In the town i loved so well

[00:01:12] In the early morning the shirt factory horn

[00:01:19] Called women from creggan the moor and the bog

[00:01:27] While the men on the dole played a mother's role

[00:01:33] Fed the children and then walked the dog

[00:01:41] And when times got tough there was just about enough

[00:01:48] And they saw it through without complaining

[00:01:56] For deep inside was a burning pride

[00:02:05] In the town i loved so well

[00:02:17] There was music there in the derry air

[00:02:26] Like a language that we all could understand

[00:02:35] I remember the day that i earned my first pay

[00:02:42] When i played in a small pick up band

[00:02:50] There i spent my youth and to tell you the truth

[00:02:57] I was sad to leave it all behind me

[00:03:06] For i learned about life and i found a wife

[00:03:15] In the town i loved so well

[00:03:26] But when i returned how my eyes have burned

[00:03:34] To see how a town could be brought to it's knees

[00:03:41] By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars

[00:03:47] And the gas that hangs on to every breeze

[00:03:57] Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall

[00:04:04] And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher

[00:04:12] With their tanks and their guns

[00:04:17] Oh my god what have they done

[00:04:22] To the town i loved so well

[00:04:34] Now the music's gone but they carry on

[00:04:42] For their spirits been bruised never broken

[00:04:51] They will not forget but their hearts are set

[00:04:58] On tomorrow and peace once again

[00:05:07] For what's done is done and what's won is won

[00:05:14] And what's lost is lost and gone for ever

[00:05:21] I can only pray for a bright brand new day

[00:05:30] In the town i love so well
