Lyrics Red Hill Mining Town - U2

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
