Like a Stone

📝 Lyrics

Lyrics: Chris Cornell Music: Chris Cornell/Tom Morello/Tim Commerford/Brad Wilk 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

You know 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

* guitar solo *

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
