Red Hill Mining Town

From father to 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 holding on
 In Red Hill Town
 See the lights go down on
 Hanging 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
 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
 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 hanging 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
 Hanging 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
