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 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...

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

Alone...
