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 To the pagans or anyone Who will take me to heaven To a place I recall I was thеre 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 And I'll wait for you there alone, alone ♪ And on I read until the day was gone And I sat in regret for 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
