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

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


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
