The Affordable Floors - Through This Broken Ground lyrics

From the Album: The Sounding (1986) Through broken halls, cracks in the tile Well with the words that rang through these rooms This falling house with boards on the shutters Was built for the bride as a gift from the groom In the Howling-wise How the sighs resound Through this heartless ground Though this broken ground This aging man still walks in the garden His head in his hands that memory's marked The life in this ground is gone but the man is still Sowing these seeds from dawn until dark In the Howling-wise How the sighs resound Through this heartless ground Though this broken ground Through broken ground the house has been falling He reaps his rage from a coppice of cares He harvests this home that harbors his trial Threshing the thorns that his bitterness bears In the Howling-wise How the sighs resound Through this heartless ground Though this broken ground
