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
Theres 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, Im...

Hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
Im still waiting
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to

The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
Were wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I cant live without

Yeah you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
Im still waiting
Hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
Hold on to

Well 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

Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
Im still waiting
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to

Love...slowly stripped away
Love...has seen its 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
