Aire & Calder - Ultrasound

Oh Aire and Calder

Dull dirty rivers

Smile Mona Lisa

Fire in the atmosphere

Blow Aire and Calder

Bleak grey melancholia

Go somewhere or other

Whisper to me on the tide

Between the here and now

Where the sky hits the ground

In faded splendour rise

Saw your reflection in the steel pile

Then realised it was mine

Roll like the thunder

Goole to Castleford

Then through the floodplains take me

Lie like love’s big swollen eyes

Oh Aire and Calder

Life may come and go

Though time lasts forever

Luck was never on our side

Between the here and now

Where the sky hits the ground

In faded splendour rise

Saw your reflection in the steel pile

Then realised it was mine

Between here and now

When the smile hits a foul

In faded splendour rise

Saw your reflection in the steel pile

Then realised it was mine
