[Verse]
           
On a cobweb, a

              
fternoon in a 


room
        
full of emptin

ess
           
By a freeway I

 confess
            
I was lost in 

    
the pages
         
Of a book, ful

l of death
            
Reading how we

    
'll die alone
            
And if we're g

          
ood we'll lay 

to rest
          
Anywhere we wa

nt to go
          
In your house 

         
I long to be
         
Room by room p

       
atiently
            
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 an

      
d the angels
            
Like a pagan t

  
o anyone
            
Who will take 

      
me to heaven
          
To a place, I 

recall
          
I was there so

 long ago
            
The sky was br

uised
    
The wine was b

led
            
And there you 

       
led me on
          
In your house 

         
I long to be
         
Room by room p

       
atiently
            
I'll wait for 

    
you there
        
Like a stone
            
I'll wait for 

    
you there
       
Alone   Alone


[Solo]  
       
 
 
  

[Verse]
       
And on I read
             
Until the day 

    
was gone
           
And I sat in r

     
egret
            
Of all the thi

         
ngs I've done
            
For all that I

      
've blessed
             
And all that I

     
've wronged
           
In dreams unti

      
l my death
            
I will wander 


on
          
In your house 

         
I long to be
         
Room by room p

       
atiently
            
I'll wait for 

    
you there
        
Like a stone
            
I'll wait for 

    
you there
           
Alone   Alone.
