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
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
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
