	[Verse 1]
	In my memory I will always see
	The town that I have loved so well
	Where the kids played ball by the old gasyard wall
	And we laughed through the smoke and the smell
	Going home in the rain, running down the dark lane
	Past the jail and down behind the fountain
	Those were happy days in so many ways
	In the town I loved so well
	[Verse 2]
	There was music there in the Derry air
	Like a language we could all understand
	I was proud on the day when I earned my first pay
	When I played in a 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 learned about life and I'd found me a wife
	In the town I loved so well
	[Verse 3]
	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 installed by that old gasyard wall
	And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
	With their tanks and their guns, oh God, what have they done
	To the town I loved so well
	[Verse 4]
	Now the music's gone but they carry on
	For their spirit's been bruised, 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
	I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
	In the town I loved so well
