|
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 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 |
|
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 |
