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

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

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
