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 
There's 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, 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 

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 
I'm hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to 
I'm still waiting 
Hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to 
Hold on to 

We'll 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 

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 
Let's go out on Red Hill 
Let's go down on Red Hill 
Let's go down on Red Hill Town 
Let's go down on Red Hill
