Red Hill Mining Town Lyrics - The Joshua Tree - U2

From father to 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 onÖ 

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. 

We see love, slowly stripped away 

Our love has seen its better day. 

Hangin' on 

Lights go down on Red Hill 

The lights go down on Red Hill. 

The lights go down on Red Hill. 

The lights go down on Red Hill Town...
