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 you know 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 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 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
