Red Hill Mining Town

From father to a son The blood runs thin Ooh, see the faces frozen still Against the wind The seam is split, the coal-face cracked The lines are long, there's no going back Through hands of steel and heart of stone Our labour day has come and gone They leave me holdin' on In Red Hill Town See the lights go down on Hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to The glass is cut, the bottle run dry Our love runs cold in the caverns of the night We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt I can lose myself, you, I can't live without Yeah, you keep me holdin' on In Red Hill Town See the lights go down on Hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to On to We scorch the earth, set fire to the sky And we stooped so low to reach so high A link is lost, the chain undone We wait all day for night to come And it comes like a hunter, child I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to Love, slowly stripped away Love has seen it's better day Hangin' on Lights go out on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill Town The lights go down on Red Hill Town
