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 wanna 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 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 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 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 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
