| [00:18.68] |
On a cold wet afternoon, |
| [00:22.06] |
In a room full of emptiness by a freeway, |
| [00:27.93] |
I confess I was lost in the pages of a book full of death; |
| [00:36.87] |
Reading how we'll die alone. |
| [00:40.49] |
And if we're good we'll lay to rest, anywhere we want to go. |
| [00:49.43] |
In your house I long to be; |
| [00:57.00] |
Room by room patiently, |
| [01:01.06] |
I'll wait for you there, like a stone. |
| [01:09.56] |
I'll wait for you there, Alone. |
| [01:14.86] |
|
| [01:31.32] |
And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and thee angels, |
| [01:36.82] |
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven; |
| [01:45.76] |
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago. |
| [01:52.39] |
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on. |
| [02:03.26] |
In your house I long to be; |
| [02:10.57] |
Room by room, patiently, |
| [02:16.95] |
I'll wait for you there, like a stone. |
| [02:23.52] |
I'll wait for you there, alone. Alone. |
| [02:36.57] |
And on I read, until the day was gone; |
| [02:42.58] |
And I sat in regret, of all the things I've done; |
| [02:50.07] |
For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged. |
| [02:58.09] |
In dreams until my death, I will wonder on. |
| [03:14.41] |
In your house I long to be; |
| [03:21.22] |
Room by room, patiently, |
| [03:28.16] |
I'll wait for you there, like a stone. |
| [03:35.28] |
|
| [03:39.37] |
Alone, Alone, A-L-O-N-E |
