[Intro]
         
         

[Verse 1]
          
On a cobweb af

ternoon
           
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 g

          
ood we'll lay 

to rest
         
Anywhere we wa

nt to go

[Chorus]
           
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 y

    
ou there 
   
Alone

[Interlude]
         

[Verse 2]
            
And on my deat

     
hbed

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 r

ecall
           
I was there so

 
 long ago
            
The sky was br

           
uised
    
The wine was b

led
           
And there you 

       
led me on

[Chorus]
           
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 y

    
ou there
          
Aloooone, aloo

  
oone

[Instrumental]
         
         
         
         

[Bridge]
        
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

[Chorus]
           
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 y

     
ou there
          
Aloooone, aloo

   
oooooone
