The Town I Loved So Well |
| [00:05.00] |
|
| [00:16.65] |
In my memory I will always see |
| [00:23.50] |
The town that I have loved so well |
| [00:31.15] |
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall |
| [00:38.65] |
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell |
| [00:44.00] |
|
| [00:44.75] |
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane |
| [00:51.76] |
Past the jail and down behind the fountain |
| [00:59.43] |
Those were happy days in so many, many ways |
| [01:06.47] |
In the town I loved so well |
| [01:13.00] |
|
| [01:13.73] |
There was music there in the Derry air |
| [01:22.26] |
Like a language that we all could under stand |
| [01:28.85] |
I remember the day when I earned my first pay |
| [01:36.17] |
And I played in a small pickup band |
| [01:43.00] |
|
| [01:44.54] |
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth |
| [01:51.43] |
I was sad to leave it all behind me |
| [01:58.61] |
For I learned about life and I'd found a wife |
| [02:05.81] |
In the town I loved so well |
| [02:11.00] |
|
| [02:12.91] |
But when I returned how my eyes have burned |
| [02:19.97] |
To see how a town could be brought to its knees |
| [02:26.05] |
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars |
| [02:33.73] |
And the gas that hangs on to every tree |
| [02:40.72] |
|
| [02:41.98] |
Now the army's in stalled by that old gasyard wall |
| [02:48.83] |
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher |
| [02:56.77] |
With their tanks and their guns, oh my God, what have they done |
| [03:03.02] |
To the town I loved so well |
| [03:11.00] |
|
| [03:12.70] |
Now the music's gone but they carry on |
| [03:21.24] |
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken |
| [03:31.12] |
They will not for get but their hearts are set |
| [03:39.11] |
On to morrow and peace once again |
| [03:46.04] |
|
| [03:48.35] |
For what's done is done and what's won is won |
| [03:54.97] |
And what's lost is lost and gone forever |
| [04:03.65] |
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day |
| [04:11.06] |
In the town I loved so well |
| [04:20.31] |
In the town I loved so well |
| [04:25.73] |
|
