Steel Town Girl

Razor-sharp wind
On the river
Makes her shiver
Steely gaze
Iron-grey haze
Nobody’s pearl
She’s a steel town girl

Shining eyes
A strong embrace
In a different place
At last
Someone’s pearl
She’s a steel town girl

Metal still guards her heart
Tensile strength
But the truth will out
Realising she’s
Her own pearl
She’s a steel town girl
