Текст песни THE TOWN I LOVED SO WELL

In my memory I will always see

The town that I have loved so well

Where THE school played ball by the gasyard wall

And we laughed through the smoke and THE smell.

Goin' home in the rain running up THAT dark lane

Past the jail and down BEHIND the fountain

THEY were happy days in so many many ways

In the town I loved so well.

In the early morn the shirt factory horn

Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog

WOMEN ON THE DOLE played a mothers role

Fed the children and ----- walked the dog

BUT when times got rough, there was just about enough

AND they saw it through without complaining

For deep inside was a burning pride

for the town I loved so well.

There was music there in the Derry air

Like a language ---- we --- all COULD understand

I remember the day when I earned my first pay

as I played in a small pickup band

There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth Paddy Schmidt - THE TOWN I LOVED SO WELL - http://ru.motolyrics.com/paddy-schmidt/the-town-i-loved-so-well-lyrics.html

I was sad to leave it all behind me

For I´d learned about life and I´d found MYSELF A wife

In the town I loved so well.

But when I returned how my eyes HAVE burned

To see how a LAND could be brought to it´s knees

WITH THEIR armoured cars and the bombed out bars

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze

Now the army´s installed by that---- 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 THAT I loved so well.

Now the music´s gone but they STILL carry on

For their spirit´s been bruised, never broken

THEY WILL not forget BUT their hearts are ALL set

On tomorrow and peace once again

Now 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 ----- brand new day

In the town I loved so well
