Red Hill Mining Town lyrics

From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, our faces frozen still
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

Yeah, you kept me holding on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go out I am
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
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

‘Cause you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go out, I am
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

We scorch the earth
Then we fire to the sky
We stoop 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

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

Our love, our love
Our love, slowly stripped away
Our love, that’s seen it’s better days
Love slowly stripped away
Our love, that’s seen it’s better days

Lights go down on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill Town
The lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill Town
