Steve Lillywhite - Red Hill Mining Town lyrics

From father to 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 [Pre-Chorus] They leave me holdin' on In Red Hill Town See the lights go down on [Chorus] 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 gla** 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 [Pre-Chorus] They leave me holdin' on In Red Hill Town See the lights go down on [Chorus] 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 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) [Chorus] 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 its better day Hangin' on Lights go down on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill Town
