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      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      And on my death bed 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      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      And on I read   Till the day was gone   And I sat in regret   For 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      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
