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 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 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 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
