Like a stone

[00:17.37] On a cob web afternoon,

[00:21.36] In a room full of emptiness

[00:26.35] By a freeway I confess

[00:30.10] I was lost in the pages

[00:35.36] of a book full of death;

[00:39.85] Reading how we'll die alone.

[00:44.35] And if we're good

[00:46.36] we'll lay to rest,

[00:48.61] Anywhere we want to go.

[00:52.86] In your house I long to be;

[01:01.86] Room by room patiently,

[01:10.60] I'll wait for you there

[01:15.35] like a stone.

[01:19.09] I'll wait for you there alone

[01:37.12] And on my deathbed

[01:39.38] I will pray to the gods

[01:43.11] and the angels,

[01:45.86] Like a pagan to anyone

[01:50.61] who will take me to heaven;

[01:55.60] To a place I recall,

[01:59.60] I was there so long ago.

[02:04.12] The sky was bruised,

[02:06.10] the wine was bled,

[02:08.35] and there you led me on.

[02:13.10] In your house I long to be;

[02:22.10] Room by room, patiently,

[02:30.61] I'll wait for you there

[02:35.12] like a stone.

[02:39.36] I'll wait for you

[02:41.86] there alone, alone.

[02:53.62] (Intermedio)

[03:29.11] And on I read until

[03:33.85] the day was gone;

[03:37.10] And I sat in regret of

[03:42.10] all the things I've done;

[03:46.36] For all that I've blessed,

[03:50.61] and all that I've wronged.

[03:54.86] In dreams until my death

[03:59.36] I will wander on.

[04:04.11] In your house I long to be;

[04:12.60] Room by room, patiently,

[04:21.11] I'll wait for you there

[04:25.61] like a stone.

[04:29.85] I'll wait for you

[04:32.86] there alone, alone
