Like a Stone Songtext
von Audioslave

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 death bed 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
