Oh Aire and Calder
Dull dirty river
Smile Mona Lisa
Fire in the atmosphere

Go Aire and Calder
Bleak grey melancholia
Go somewhere or other
Whisper to me on the tide

Between 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
Goolе to Castleford
Then through the floodplains takе 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 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
Where the sky hits the ground
In faded splendour rise

Saw your reflection in the steel pile
Then realised it was mine
