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

I'll wait for you there, like a stone I'll wait for you there, alone

You know 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 longed to be

Road by road, day to day, 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

And dreams until my death

I will wander all

In your house

Long to be

Room by room

Patiently

I'll wait for you there

Like a stone

I'll wait for you there

Alone

Alone
