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 want to 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
To the pagans or anyone
Who will take me to heaven

To a place I recall
I was thеre 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
And I'll wait for you there alone, alone

And on I read until the day was gone
And I sat in regret for 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
