From
father to son the blood runs thin
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
And you leave me holding on
In Red Hill Town, see the 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 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 holding on
In Red Hill Town, see the lights go down
I’m hanging on [etc repeated]
Then we two scorched the earth - set fire to the sky
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 hanging on [etc repeated]
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
The lights go down on Red Hill Town
The lights go down on Red Hill
