alone
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
patiently
room by room
i long to be
in your house

and there you led me on
the wine was bled
the sky was bruised
i was there so long ago
i recall
to a place
to anyone who will take me to heaven
like a pagan
to the gods and the angels
i will pray
and on my death bed

alone
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
patiently
room by room
i long to be
in your house

anywhere we want to go
and if we're good we'll lay to rest
reading how we'll die alone
full of death
of a book
i confess i was lost in the pages
by a freeway
in a room full of emptiness
On a cobweb afternoon
and on i read
until the day was done
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
