I was born and raised on steel river |
|
I see it all like it was yesterday |
|
The ships and bridges they were all delivered |
|
From Sydney harbour to the |
|
Cisco bay |
|
And I met my love down on steel river |
|
We served our dreams and spent our childhood days |
|
In rainy streets we'd kiss away the shivers |
|
And hide from fear inside the latest craze |
|
Dancing to |
|
Motown Making love with |
|
Carole King record playing |
|
And oh how |
|
I loved you |
|
Say goodbye steel river |
|
Ten thousand bombers hit the steel river |
|
And many died to keep her running free |
|
And she survived but now she's gone forever |
|
Her burning heart is just a memory |
|
And I ran away from life on steel river |
|
Luck or not |
|
I gladly took the break |
|
The odds were low the chances nearly zero |
|
A chance it was |
|
I had to take |
|
Say goodbye steel river |
|
They say that salmon swim in steel river |
|
They say it's good to see them back again |
|
I know it hurts to see what really happened |
|
I know one salmon ain't no good to them |
|
They were born and raised to serve their steel mother |
|
It was they taught and all they ever knew |
|
And they believed that she would keep their children |
|
Even though not a single word was true |
|
Say goodbye steel river |
