Like a Stone

On a cobweb afternoon, in a room full of emptiness By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death, reading how we'll die alone And if we're good, we'll lay to rest anywhere we wanna go In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there like a stone I'll wait for you there alone And on my deathbed, I will pray to the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to Heaven To a place I recall, I was there so long ago The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there like a stone I'll wait for you there alone, alone And on I read, until the day was gone And I sat in regret of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged In dreams until my death, I will wander on In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I'll wait for you there like a stone I'll wait for you there alone, alone
