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 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
