The Town I Loved So Well - Sean Dynes
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
In the early morning the shirt factory horn
Called women from Craigeen the Moor
And the Bog
While the man on the dole played the mother's role
Fed the children and then walked the dogs
And when times got tough
There was just about enough
But 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 that we all could understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
When I played in the 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'd learned about life
And I've 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 could be brought ti its 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 barbwire 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
For their spirit's been bruised never broken
Though they won't forget still hearts are all 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
For the town I loved so well
