Rivers of Steel

Rivers of Steel - Finbar Furey/Shayne Ward

Gentle eyes still holding pride

And love beyond the world

For my soul you've bled your own

Thanked me for being your son

And if I could write a letter

I would thank you for all you did

Words don't say what I want to say

These flowers don't say how I feel

And life goes on and on life goes

Cold stony darkness knows

When dreamy days take you and me back home

Back home

Rivers of steel won't pay the lord

For all the tears I've caused

I've broken your precious heart

Since the day that I was born

And mother please forgive them

For what they say I've done

And the sun won't ever shine no more

On this dark side of the world

And life goes on and on life goes

Cold stony darkness knows

When dreamy days take you and me back home

Back home

Rivers of steel won't pay the lord

For all the tears I've caused

I've broken your precious heart

Since the day that I was born

And mother please please forgive them

For what they say I've done

And the sun won't ever shine no more

On this dark side of the world

And life goes on and on life goes

Cold stony darkness knows

When dreamy days take you and me back home

Back home

Back home

Back home

Back home

Back home

Back home

Back home
