Red Hill Mining Town

From father to son The blood runs thin Ooh, see the faces frozen still Against the wind. Verse 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. Bridge 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. Verse 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. Bridge Yeah, you keep 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 On to. Verse We scorch the earth Set fire to the sky And we stooped so low To reach so high. Verse A link is lost The chain undone. We wait all day For night to come And it comes like a hunter child. Chorus 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. We see love, slowly stripped away Our 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..
