The Town I Loved So Well Lyrics - Ronan Keating

In my memory, I will always see 

The town that I loved so well 

Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall 

And they laughed through the smoke and the smell 

Going home in the rain, riding 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 mornin' the shirt factory horn 

Called women from cryin', the moor and the bog 

While the men on the dole played a mother's role 

Fed the children and then walked the dog 

And when times got tough there was just about enough 

And they saw it through without complainin' 

For deep inside was a burning pride 

In the town I loved so well

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

HOT SONG: TWICE - 'Feel Special' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Miley Cyrus - 'Slide Away' - LYRICS 

There was music there in the derriere 

Like a language that we all could understand 

I remember the day that I earned my first pay 

When I played in a small pick-art 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 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 it's knees 

By the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars 

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze 

Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall 

And the damn barbed wire gets higher and higher 

With their tanks and their guns, oh my god, what have they done 

In the town I loved so well 

Now the music's gone but they carry on 

For their spirits be bruised, never broken 

They will not forget but their hearts are set 

For tomorrow they'll have peace once again 

For what's done is done and what's won is won 

And what's lost is lost and gone for ever 

I can only pray for a bright, brand new day 

In the town I loved so well
