Like a Stone Songtext

von Pearl Jam

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 call
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

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
