Steeltown lyrics
Steeltown By Big Country.
-------------------------
Here I stand with my own kin
At the end of everything
Finaly the dream has gone
I ve nothing left to hang upon
I came here with all my friends
Leaving behind the wait of years
Leaving alone in a flood of tears
Out on a prospect that never ends
All the landscape was the mill
Grim as the reaper with a heart like hell
With a river of boddies
Flowing with the bell
We built it all with our own hands
But who could know we built on sand
But now it s barren all to soon
There s no miracle in ruin
We set the flame and it burned so blue
With open eyes I watched it grow
A sea of palms in an ocean of snow
Hands with the corage to start anew
Here was a home for the lost and scared
Out of the yards and dry docks
The call of the steel that would never stop
There was a refuge for those who dared
In a steeltown
When the heat s on
I went down
And the heat turned on me
Here I stand with my own kin
At the end of everything
Finaly the dream has gone
I ve nothing left to hang upon
In a steeltown
When the heat s on
I went down
And the heat turned on me
>From the L.P./Cassette "Steeltown".
