The Town I Loved So Well

The Celtic Tenors

Irish Album



The Town I Loved So Well



In my memory I will always see

The town that I have loved so well

Where our school played ball by the 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



There was music there in the Derry air

Like a language that we all could under stand

I remember the day when I earned my first pay

And I played in a small pickup 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 a wife

In the town I loved so well



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 in stalled 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 carry on

For their spirit's been bruised, never broken

They will not for get but their hearts are set

On to morrow 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
