[Verse 1] | |
In my memory I will always see | |
The town that I have loved so well | |
Where the kids played ball by the old gasyard wall | |
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell | |
Going home in the rain, running down the dark lane | |
Past the jail and down behind the fountain | |
Those were happy days in so many ways | |
In the town I loved so well | |
[Verse 2] | |
There was music there in the Derry air | |
Like a language we could all understand | |
I was proud on the day when I earned my first pay | |
When I played in a small pick-up band | |
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth | |
I was sad to leave it all behind me | |
For I learned about life and I'd found me a wife | |
In the town I loved so well | |
[Verse 3] | |
But when I returned how my eyes have burned | |
To see how a town could be brought to its knees | |
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars | |
And the gas that hangs on to every tree | |
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall | |
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher | |
With their tanks and their guns, oh God, what have they done | |
To the town I loved so well | |
[Verse 4] | |
Now the music's gone but they carry on | |
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken | |
They will not forget but their hearts are set | |
On tomorrow and peace once again | |
For what's done is done and what's won is won | |
And what's lost is lost and gone forever | |
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day | |
In the town I loved so well | |
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day | |
In the town I loved so well |
