U2 - Red Hill Mining Town lyrics

From father to son The blood runs thin See 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 Yeah you leave me holding on In Red Hill Town See lights go down, I'm... Hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hanging 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 Yeah you keep me holding on In Red Hill Town See the lights go down on I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting Hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to Hold on to We'll scorch the earth Set fire to the sky We stoop 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 hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to Love...slowly stripped away Love...has seen its better day Hanging on The lights go out on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill Lights go down on Red Hill town The lights go down on Red Hill
