Like A Stone Lyrics

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 
liek 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
