Steel River

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 the Steel River

We served our dreams and spent our childhood days

In rainy streets, we'd kiss away the shivers,

And hide in fear from the latest craze...

Dancing to Motown, making love

With a arol King record playing

And oh how I loved you...

Say goodbye!

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

But a chance it was, that I had to take...

Say goodbye, Steel River

They say its good to see them back again

I know it hurts to see what really happened,

I know one salmon, aint no good to them

They were born and raised to

Serve their steel mother

It was all they taught and all they ever knew,

And they believed they would

Keep their children

Even though, not a single word was true!

Say goodbye, wave goodbye

Steel River
