| 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 (Chorus) 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 On 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 (Chorus) 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 For all that I've wronged In dreams until my death I will wander on |
