Lyrics Like a Stone (Recorded Live At Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Toronto, ON - April 20, 2011) - Chris Cornell

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
