Like A Stone
On a cobweb afternoonIn a room full of emptinessBy a freeway I confessI was lost in the pagesOf a book full of deathReading how we'll die aloneAnd if we're good we'll lay to restAnywhere we want to go
In your house I long to beRoom by room patientlyI'll wait for you thereLike a stoneI'll wait for you thereAlone
And on my deathbed I will prayTo the gods and the angelsLike a pagan to anyoneWho will take me to heavenTo a place I recallI was there so long agoThe sky was bruisedThe wine was bledAnd there you led me on
In your house I long to beRoom by room patientlyI'll wait for you thereLike a stoneI'll wait for you thereAlone, alone
And on I readUntil the day was goneAnd I sat in regretOf all the things I've doneFor all that I've blessedAnd all that I've wrongedIn dreams until my deathI will wander on
In your house I long to beRoom by room patientlyI'll wait for you thereLike a stoneI'll wait for you thereAlone, alone
