"Like A Stone"


On a cold wet
afternoon 
no room for love and 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 a god will 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 prey 
to the gods and the angels 
like a pagan 
to anyone who will take me to heaven 
to a place 
i would recall 
i was there so long ago 
the sky was bruised 
the world was black 
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 

in all I read 
till the day was gone 
and I sat in regret 
in all the things I've done 
for all that I've blessed 
and all that I've wronged 
in dreams till my death 
I will wonder 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
