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

To the pagans or anyone

Who will take me to heaven

To a place I recall

I was thеre 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

And 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

In dreams 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
