Like a Stone

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 1]

And 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]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[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, alone
