On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
by the freeway
I confess I was lost in the pages
of a book full of d**h
reading how we’ll die alone
and if we’re good we’ll lay to rest
in the way 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 d**hbed
I will pray to god 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 the things I’ve wronged
In my dreams until my d**h
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
