Red Hill Mining Town (Songs Of Surrender)

[Verse 1] From father to son The blood runs thin Ooh, our faces frozen stiff Against the wind [Verse 2] The seam was split The coal-face cracked The lines were so long You we couldn't see to the back [Verse 3] We were makin' steel They were made of stone Now our labour day Has come and gone [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, you kept me holdin' on In Red Hill Town As the lights go out I am [Chorus] I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to Yeah, I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to [Verse 4] The glass is cut And the bottle's run dry Our love runs cold In the caverns of thе night [Verse 5] We're wounded by fеar Injured in doubt I can lose myself But you I cannot live without [Pre-Chorus] Oh, 'cause you keep me holdin' on In Red Hill Town As the lights go out I am [Chorus] Hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waitin' I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to [Verse 6] We scorch the earth And we set fire to the sky We stoop so low To reach so high [Verse 7] 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 [Chorus] Yeah, I'm hangin' 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 Our love, our love Our love slowly stripped away Our love that's has seen its better days Love slowly stripped away Our love that's has seen its better day Lights go down on Red Hill, oh oh oh The lights go down on Red Hill Town The lights go down on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill Town
