Red Hill Mining Town |
From father to son |
The blood runs thin |
See 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 |
Yeah you leave me holding on In Red Hill Town |
See 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 on |
I’m hanging on You’re all that’s left to hold on to |
I’m still waiting |
Hanging on You’re all that’s left to hold on to Hold on to We’ll scorch the earth |
Set fire to the sky |
We stoop 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 hanging on You’re all that’s left to hold on to Love… slowly stripped away |
Love… has seen it’s better day |
Hanging on The lights go out on Red Hill |
The lights go down on Red Hill |
Lights go down on Red Hill town |
The lights go down on Red Hill |
