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
+
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 call
+
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
+
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
+
