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’ll die alone
and if we’re good we’ll lay to rest anywhere 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 deathbed i will pray to the gods 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 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
