Like a Stone Songtext
von 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

Yes, I will

And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels
To the pagans or 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
I'll wait for you there, alone
Alone, yeah yeah

Thank you
Thanks very much, really
