Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From father to son
The blood runs thin
Mmh, see the faces frozen still
Against the wind
[Verse 2]
The seam is split
The coal-face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back
[Verse 3]
Through hands of steel
And heart of stone
Our labour day
Has come and gone
[Verse 4]
They leave me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
[Verse 7]
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You, I can't live without
[Verse 8]
Yeah, you keep me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on
[Verse 9]
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
Hangin' on
All that's left to hold on to
[Verse 10]
We scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
And we stooped so low
To reach so high
[Verse 11]
A link is lost
The chain undone
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a hunter child
[Verse 12]
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
[Verse 13]
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
[Verse 14]
Love, slowly stripped away
Love has seen its better day
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to (All that's left to hold on to)
All that's left to hold on to (You're all that's left to hold on to)
You're all that's left to hold on to (All that's left to hold on, hold on)
Lights go out on Red Hill
