Like a Stone

[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
