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
