《The Town I Loved So Well(1991 Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Town I loved so Well - Paddy Reilly

[00:00:18] In my memory I will always see

[00:00:26] The town that I have loved so well

[00:00:34] Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall

[00:00:43] And they laughed through the smoke and the smell

[00:00:51] Going home in the rain running up the dark lane

[00:01:00] Past the jail and down behind the fountain

[00:01:08] Those were happy days in so many many ways

[00:01:17] In the town I loved so well

[00:01:26] In the early morning the shirt factory horn

[00:01:34] 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

[00:01:59] And when times got tough there was just about enough

[00:02:07] And they saw it through without complaining

[00:02:16] For deep inside was a burning pride

[00:02:24] In the town I loved so well

[00:02:33] There was music there in the derry air

[00:02:41] Like a language that we all could understand

[00:02:50] I remember the day that I earned my first pay

[00:02:58] When I played in a small pick up band

[00:03:06] There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth

[00:03:15] I was sad to leave it all behind me

[00:03:23] For I learned about life and I found a wife

[00:03:31] In the town I loved so well

[00:03:48] But when I returned how my eyes have burned

[00:03:57] To see how a town could be brought to it's knees

[00:04:05] By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars

[00:04:13] And the gas that hangs on to every breeze

[00:04:21] Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall

[00:04:30] And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher

[00:04:39] With their tanks and their guns

[00:04:43] Oh my god what have they done

[00:04:47] To the town I loved so well

[00:04:56] Now the music's gone but they carry on

[00:05:04] For their spirits been bruised never broken

[00:05:13] They will not forget but their hearts are set

[00:05:21] On tomorrow and peace once again

[00:05:29] For what's done is done and what's won is won

[00:05:38] And what's lost is lost and gone for ever

[00:05:47] I can only pray for a bright brand new day

[00:05:55] In the town I love so well
