Lyrics

Well I was born and raised by the river Slowly it flows through this city of knives Not too far from the mountain that shivers Folks work so hard and they stay all their lives And people in this city call us love And people in this city call you love Just as the sparrow sing soft in the morning The Speedwell lady kisses old Blue John Why burn and burn and grieve in the forging From Loxley, Sheaf, Porter, Rivelin and Don And people in this city call us love And people in this city call you love But it's a lonely lonely lonely lonely love I lost my only only only only love Twelve hours a day by the furnace and forges Sands don't shift Lord he wishes he was dead Crawling home in the cold of the morning My baby's warm and waiting in bed And people in this city call us love And people in this city call you love See old crow she flies o'er the graveyard Her ancient song mighty bird of death Won't be long before the hammers are calling Steel City folks fight for every breath And people in this city call us love And people in this city call you love But it's a lonely lonely lonely lonely love I lost my only only only only love It gets so lonely lonely lonely lonely love To lose your only only only hope of love And Truelove is the hardest of goals And Truelove is the harvest of gold And people in this city call you love
