Like a Stone (Live At Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Toronto, ON April 20, 2011)
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
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'll wait for you there, like a stone
I'll wait for you there, alone
Alone, yeah yeah
Thank you
Thanks very much, really
