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's reading I will die alone and if we're good We'll lay to rest anywhere we wanna 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 leave 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 I'll wait for you there like a stone I'll wait for you there 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 I'll wait for you there like a stone I'll wait for you there alone
