Red Hill Mining Town (Songs Of Surrender) - U2

Lyrics by：Bono

Composed by：The Edge/Bono/Adam Clayton/Larry Mullen, Jr.

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
