On a cold wet 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.
And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and thee 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 wonder on.
In your house I long to be; Room by room, patiently, I'll wait for you there, like a stone. Alone, Alone, A-L-O-N-E I'll wait for you there, alone. Alone.

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.

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 thee angels,
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven;
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago.
