[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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 die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we wanna go
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
On my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
To the pagans or 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I fell in regret
For all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I wander on
[Chorus]
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
