Lyrics:

From father to a son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, see the 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

They leave me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on
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

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 holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on
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

On to
We scorch the earth, set fire to the sky
And we stooped 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 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

Love, slowly stripped away
Love has seen it's better day
Hangin' on
Lights go out on Red Hill

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

The lights go down on Red Hill Town
