like a stone

On a cold wet 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 lead 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 wonder 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
