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, Alone

And on I read, until the day was gone

And I sat in regret for all the things I’ve done

For all that I’ve blessed and all that I’ve wronged

And dreamed until my death I will wander 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
