Like A Stone

On a cold wet 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 lead 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, 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 wonder 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, alone
