Like A Stone Lyrics - Songbook - Chris Cornell

On a cobweb 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 

... 

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 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 wander 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
