From father to sonThe blood runs thinOoh, our faces frozen stiffAgainst the windThe seam was splitThe coal-face crackedThe lines were so longYou couldn't see to the backWe were makin' steelThey were made of stoneNow our labour dayHas come and goneYeah, you kept me holdin' onIn Red Hill TownAs the lights go out I amI'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on toYeah, I'm still waitingI'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on toThe glass is cutAnd the bottle's run dryOur love runs coldIn the caverns of the nightWе're wounded by fearInjurеd in doubtI can lose myselfBut you I cannot live withoutOh, 'cause you keep me holdin' onIn Red Hill TownAs the lights go out I amHangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on toI'm still waitin'I'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on toWe scorch the earthThen we set fire to the skyWe stoop so lowTo reach so highA link is lostThe chain undoneNow we wait all dayFor night to comeAnd it comesLike a monster to a childYeah, I'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on toI'm still waitingI'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on toOur love, our loveOur love slowly stripped awayOur love that's seen its better daysLove slowly stripped awayOur love that's seen its better dayLights go down on Red Hill, oh oh ohThe lights go down on Red Hill TownThe lights go down on Red HillThe lights go down on Red Hill Town
