On a cobweb afternoon
In a room 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 win was bled
And there you led me on

[Repeat 
*]

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 wonder on

[Repeat *]
