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 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 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, holding 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 ♪ 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
