Red Hill Mining Town

From father to sonThe blood runs thinOoh, see the faces frozen (still)Against the wind.The seam is splitThe coal-face crackedThe lines are longThere's no going back.Through hands of steelAnd heart of stoneOur labour dayHas come and gone.They leave me holdin' onIn Red Hill Town.See the lights go down on ...Hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on to.I'm still waitingI'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on to.The glass is cutThe bottle run dry.Our love runs coldIn the caverns of the night.We're wounded by fearInjured in doubt.I can lose myselfYou I can't live without.Yeah, you keep me holdin' onIn Red Hill Town.See the lights go down on...Hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on to.I'm still waitingI'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on toWe scorch the earthSet fire to the skyAnd we stooped so lowTo reach so high.A link is lostThe chain undone.We wait all dayFor night to comeAnd it comes like a hunter (child).I'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on to.I'm still waitingI'm hangin' onYou're all that's left to hold on to.We see love, slowly stripped awayOur love has seen its better day.Hangin' onLights go down on Red HillThe lights go down on Red Hill.The lights go down on Red Hill Town.The lights go down on Red Hill.
