Like a Stone is a song written by Chris Cornell, reflecting on the spiritual thoughts of someone in their final moments on Earth.
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 die alone And if we're good we'll lay to rest Anywhere we wanna 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 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 For 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
