Like a Stone

On a cobweb, afternoon in a room full of emptiness

By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the pages

Half 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 then you led me home

In your house I long to be

Row by row, patiently

I'll wait for you there

Like a stone, I wait for you there

Alone, alone

Until the day was done

And I sit in regret

Of all the things I've done

For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wrought

In dreams unto my death, I will walk on the road

And your house, I long to be

Row by row, patiently

I'll wait for you there, like a stone

And I'll wait for you there

Alone, alone
