Текст песни Red Hill Mining Town - Songs Of Surrender - U2

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

The seam was split, the coal-face cracked
The lines were so long, we couldn't see to the back
We were making steel, they were made of stone
Now our labour day has come and gone

You kept 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
Yeah, I'm still waitin'
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to

The glass is cut and the bottles 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 down 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 stooped 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
I'm alone in love

A love, slowly stripped away
A love has seen its better days
Love slowly stripped away
A love has seen its better day

The 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
