Like a stone

[00:18.14] On a cob web afternoon,

[00:22.13] In a room full of emptiness

[00:26.65] By a freeway I confess

[00:30.64] I was lost in the pages

[00:35.64] of a book full of death;

[00:39.88] Reading how we'll die alone.

[00:44.38] And if we're good

[00:46.14] we'll lay to rest,

[00:48.88] Anywhere we want to go.

[00:53.13] In your house I long to be;

[01:02.14] Room by room patiently,

[01:10.64] I'll wait for you there

[01:15.15] like a stone.

[01:19.13] I'll wait for you

[01:22.38] there alone.

[01:28.89] (intermedio)

[01:37.14] And on my deathbed

[01:40.13] I will pray to the gods

[01:43.38] and the angels,

[01:46.13] Like a pagan to anyone

[01:50.66] who will take me to heaven;

[01:55.64] To a place I recall,

[01:59.91] I was there so long ago.

[02:04.16] The sky was bruised,

[02:06.63] the wine was bled,

[02:08.64] and there you led me on.

[02:13.39] In your house I long to be;

[02:22.14] Room by room, patiently,

[02:30.63] I'll wait for you there

[02:34.88] like a stone.

[02:39.17] I'll wait for you there

[02:44.39] alone, alone.

[02:53.40] (guitar solo)

[03:29.15] And on I read until

[03:32.88] the day was gone;

[03:37.13] And I sat in regret of

[03:42.14] all the things I've done;

[03:46.38] For all that I've blessed,

[03:50.63] and all that I've wronged.

[03:54.89] In dreams until my death

[03:59.14] I will wander on.

[04:03.88] In your house I long to be;

[04:12.65] Room by room, patiently,

[04:21.63] I'll wait for you there

[04:26.17] like a stone.

[04:30.38] I'll wait for you there

[04:34.89] alone, alone.
