[ti:The Town That I Loved So] [ar:Pierre Bensusa] [al:Près.de.Paris] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Town That I Loved So - Pierre Bensusa (皮埃尔·本苏娜) [00:28.29]In my memory I will always see [00:34.02] [00:35.31]The town that I have loved so well [00:41.02] [00:41.94]Where our school played [00:44.06]ball by the gasyard wall [00:47.68] [00:48.53]And we laughed through [00:50.46]the smoke and the smell. [00:53.62] [00:55.62]Going home in the rain [00:58.23] [00:59.20]running up the dark lane [01:01.72] [01:02.58]Past the jail and down [01:05.30]behind the fountain [01:07.28] [01:09.41]Those were happy days in [01:12.99]so many many ways [01:14.97] [01:15.91]In the town I loved so well. [01:21.02] [01:26.66]There was music there in the Derry air [01:32.28] [01:33.11]Like a language that [01:35.36]we all could understand [01:39.28] [01:40.12]I remember the day [01:42.46] [01:43.03]that I earned my first pay [01:45.77] [01:46.38]When I played in the small pick-up band. [01:51.46] [01:53.34]There I spent my youth [01:56.09] [01:57.01]and to tell you the truth [01:59.55] [02:00.28]I was sad to leave it all behind me [02:04.96] [02:07.10]For I'd learned about life [02:09.45] [02:09.99]and I found a wife [02:12.64] [02:13.53]In the town I loved so well. [02:18.51] [02:24.24]But when I returned how [02:27.67]my eyes have burned [02:30.05] [02:31.30]To see how a town could be [02:35.08]brought to it's knees [02:37.10] [02:37.94]By the armored cars [02:40.83]and the bombed-out bars [02:43.42] [02:44.32]And the gas that hangs on to every breeze. [02:49.33] [02:51.16]Now the army's installed by [02:55.21]that old gasyard wall [02:57.81]And the damned barbed [03:00.01]wire gets higher and higher [03:02.63] [03:04.92]With their tanks and their guns, [03:07.95]oh my god what have they done [03:10.63] [03:11.50]To the town I loved so well. [03:16.75] [03:49.66]Now the music's gone but they carry on [03:55.62] [03:56.58]For their spirit's been [03:58.78]bruised never broken [04:02.17] [04:03.37]They will not forget but their hearts are set [04:08.92] [04:09.57]On tomorrow and peace once again. [04:14.82] [04:16.71]but what's done is done [04:19.20] [04:20.23]and what's won is won [04:22.72] [04:23.56]And what's lost is lost and gone forever [04:27.94] [04:30.23]I can only pray for a bright brand-new day [04:35.81] [04:36.67]In the town I loved so well. [04:41.81] [04:43.51]I can only pray for a bright brand-new day [04:49.74] [04:50.46]In the town I loved so well.
