Red Hill Mining Town - Songs Of Surrender

From father to son
 The blood runs thin
 With our faces frozen stiff
 Against the wind
 ♪
 The seam was split, the coal-face cracked
 The lines were so long, we couldn't see to the back
 We were making steel, they were made of stone
 Now our labour day has come and gone
 You kept me holdin' on
 In Red Hill Town
 As the lights go out, I am
 Hangin' on
 You're all that's left to hold on to
 Yeah, I'm still waitin'
 I'm hangin' on
 You're all that's left to hold on to
 ♪
 The glass is cut and the bottles run dry
 Our love runs cold in the caverns of the night
 We're wounded by fear, injured in doubt
 I can lose myself, but you, I cannot live without
 Oh, 'cause you keep me holdin' on
 In Red Hill Town
 As the lights go down out, I am
 Hangin' on
 You're all that's left to hold on to
 I'm still waitin'
 I'm hangin' on
 You're all that's left to hold on to
 ♪
 We scorch the earth, then we set fire to the sky
 We stooped so low to reach so high
 A link is lost, the chain undone
 Now we wait all day for night to come
 And it comes like a monster to a child
 Yeah
 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
 I'm alone in love
 A love, slowly stripped away
 A love has seen its better days
 Love slowly stripped away
 A love has seen its better day
 The lights go down on Red Hill, oh-oh-oh
 The lights go down on Red Hill Town
 The lights go down on Red Hill
 The lights go down on Red Hill Town
