Red Hill Mining Town

U2 U2

From father to son
The blood runs thin
Oh, 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 holding on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on

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
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 holding on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on

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
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 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

Love
Slowly stripped away
Love
Has seen its better day

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