"People" lyrics

"People"

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
Wybourn and Burngreave 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
