Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
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
ย
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
ย
Dancing to Motown
Making love with Carole King record playing
Oh, how I loved you
ย
Say goodbye (steel river)
ย
Say goodbye (steel river)
ย
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
ย
Say goodbye
ย
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
ย
Say goodbye
(Steel river, ooh)
ย
(Steel river, ooh) Say goodbye
(Steel river, ooh) Yeah, yeah
ย
(Steel river, ooh)
(Steel river, ooh)
ย
(Steel river)
