Red Hill Mining Town

- ("uncovered" show at ronnie scott's jazz club, london - 1/31/95)

- bono (u2 - from the album "the joshua tree")



From father to son

The blood runs thin

I 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 labor day has come and gone

Yeah, you leave me holding on

In red hill town

See lights go down

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



Glass is cut

Bottle runs dry

Our love runs cold

In the caverns of the night

We're wounded by fear

Injured in doubt

I can lose myself

But i can't live without

Yeah, you keep me holding on

In red hill town

See the lights go down

I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to

I'm still waiting

Hanging on

All that's left to hold on to



We 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 hunted 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 a better day

Hanging on



Lights go out on red hill

Lights go down on red hill

Lights go down on red hill town



Lights go down on red hill

Lights go down on red hill town

Lights go down on red hill
