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. 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 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
