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.

So of death's breeding I will die alone

And if we're good we'll lay to rest

Anywhere we wanna go

In your house

I long to be

Thrown by Rome

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 Lord

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 left me, oh

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 ran

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 home by lonesomely

I'll wait for you there like a stone

I'll wait for you there

Alone

Alone
