On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pagesOf 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 goIn 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 aloneAnd on my deathbed I will pray
To the Gods and the Angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to HeavenTo a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you lead me onIn 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, aloneAlone I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've doneFor all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wonder onIn 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
