Current song lyrics
In my memory I will always see<br />the town that I have loved so well<br />where our school played ball by the gasyard wall<br />and we laughed through the smoke and the smell.<br />Going home in the rain running up the dark lane<br />past the jail and down behind the fountain<br />Those were happy days in so many many ways<br />in the town that I loved so well.<br /><br />In the early morning the shirt-factory horn<br />called women from Craigeen the Moor and the Bog<br />while the men on the dole played the mother`s role<br />fed the children and then trained the dogs.<br />And when times got rough there was just about enough<br />but they saw it through without complaining<br />for deep inside was a burning pride<br />in the town that I loved so well.<br /><br />There was music there in the Derry air<br />like a language that we all could understand<br />I remember the day when I earned my first pay<br />as I played in the small pick-up band.<br />There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth<br />I was sad to leave it all behind me<br />for I`d learned `bout life and I`ve found me a wife<br />in the town that I loved so well.<br /><br />But when I returned how my eyes have burned<br />to see how a town could be brought to its knees<br />by the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars<br />and the gas that hangs on to every breathe.<br />Now the army`s installed by that old gasyard wall<br />and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher<br />with their tanks and their bombs, oh my god what have they done<br />to the town that I loved so well.<br /><br />Now the music`s gone but they carry on<br />for their spirit`s been bruised, never broken<br />they will not forget, but their hearts are set<br />on tomorrow and peace once again.<br />For what`s done is done and what`s won is won<br />and what`s lost is lost and gone forever<br />I can only pray for a bright brand-new day<br />in the town that I loved so well.
