The Affordable Floors - The Sounding lyrics

From the Album: The Sounding (1986) And when I wake I will still be dreaming This fever may break And you'll still be gone And when I wake My heart will be beating My quickening pulse Still plays the same song Wading into sleepless nights The air, it breathes like steam tonight I hear the distant pounding of the anvil's ring Bolting upright in my bed These knotted sheets are damp with sweat I hear the hollow sounding of the foundry's song And when I wake I will still be dreaming This fever may break And you'll still be gone And when I wake I will still be breathing The thickening air Will thin with the dawn I can feel the forge aglow I'll weather out the hammer's blow It's time to take the sleep to task and carry on And if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take And If I die, we'll carry on And we'll carry on
