The Town I Loved So Well

In the style of

Nathan Carter

Lyrics

in my memory
i will always see

the town that i have
loved so well

where our school played ball
by the old gasyard wall

and we laughed
through the smoke

and the smell

going home in the rain
running up the dark lane

past the jail
and down behind the fountain

those were happy days
in so many many ways

in the town i loved
so well

in the early morning
the shirt-factory horn

called the women from
craigeen the moor and the bog

while the man on the dole
played the mother's role

fed the children and then
they walked the dog

when times got tough
there was just about enough

but they saw it through
without complaining

for a deep inside
was a burning pride

for the town
i loved so well

there was music there
in the derry air

like a language that we
all could all understand

i remember the day
when i earned my first pay

i played in the small
pick-up band

i spent my youth
and to tell you the truth

i was sad to leave it
all behind me

for i'd learned about life
and i found me a wife

in the town i loved
so well

but when i returned
how my eyes have burned

to see how a town
it could be brought

to it's knees
by the armored cars

and the bombed-out bars

and the gas that hangs on

to every breeze

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 my god what have they done

to the town
i loved so well

now the music's gone
but they still carry on

their spirit's been bruised
but 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

in the town

i loved so well
