Red Hill Mining Town - Remastered 2007

From father to a 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

They leave me holdin' on

In Red Hill Town

See the lights go down on

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 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

Yeah, you keep me holdin' on

In Red Hill Town

See the lights go down on

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

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

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

Love, slowly stripped away

Love has seen it's better day

Hangin' on

Lights go out on Red Hill

The lights go down on Red Hill

The lights go down on Red Hill Town

The lights go down on Red Hill Town
