Like A Stone

[00:17.89] On a cob web afternoon,

[00:22.40] In a room full of emptiness

[00:26.65] By a freeway I confess

[00:31.13] I was lost in the pages of a book full of death;

[00:40.67] Reading how we'll die alone.

[00:44.90] And if we're good we'll lay to rest,

[00:49.41] Anywhere we want to go.

[00:53.65] In your house I long to be;

[01:02.65] Room by room patiently,

[01:11.15] I'll wait for you there like a stone.

[01:19.89] I'll wait for you there alone.

[01:37.64] And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels,

[01:46.90] Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven;

[01:56.16] To a place I recall, I was there so long ago.

[02:04.90] The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on.

[02:13.66] In your house I long to be;

[02:22.65] Room by room, patiently,

[02:30.89] I'll wait for you there like a stone.

[02:40.14] I'll wait for you there alone, alone.

[03:29.09] And on I read until the day was gone;

[03:37.33] And I sat in regret of all the things I've done;

[03:46.84] For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged.

[03:55.58] In dreams until my death I will wander on.

[04:04.34] In your house I long to be;

[04:13.09] Room by room, patiently,

[04:21.84] I'll wait for you there like a stone.

[04:30.61] I'll wait for you there alone, alone.
