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

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 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 you 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
