- Like A Stone LyricsOn a cold wet 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
And 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 recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you lead 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
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
And 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 recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
And there you lead 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

Is it... "on a cold wet afternoon" or is it "on a cob web afternoon?" Only one makes sense to me but I've heard it both ways.

When this came on the radio I was blown away with memories from the past. I remember being around 8-9 listening to my brother listen to this. Man its scary to think, times only going forward and we can't go back to when things were good...

Hes talking about being fooled by religion and wanting something that was really never there...and it making him feel guilty for nothing. he just wishes it was true but its not and he realizes that.

Phenomenal song. I love how the song as a whole has one big meaning, but each verse, the chorus, the bridge, everything can have it's independent meaning as you go through different crap in your life.

I heard that this song was inspired by the death of Chris' friend, Lane Staley. He was the singer for Alice in Chains. After reading it, it makes sense. Beautiful!
