U2 - Red Hill Mining Town (Songs Of Surrender)

From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, our faces frozen stiff
Against the wind

The seam was split
The coal-face cracked
The lines were so long
You couldn't see to the back

We were makin' steel
They were made of stone
Now our labour day
Has come and gone

Yeah, you kept me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go out I am

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

The glass is cut
And the bottle's run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night

We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
But you I cannot live without

Oh, 'cause you keep me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go out I am

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

We scorch the earth
Then we set fire to the sky
We stoop so low
To reach so high

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

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 seen its better days
Love slowly stripped away
Our love that's 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
