On a cold wet
afternoon
no room for love and 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 a god will 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 death bed
I will prey
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan
to anyone who will take me to heaven
to a place
i would recall
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the world was black
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
in all I read
till the day was gone
and I sat in regret
in all the things I´ve done
for all that I´ve blessed
and all that I´ve wronged
in dreams till 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
I´ll wait for you there
alone alone
