Audioslave - Like a stone

Normalmente non posto due lyrics così vicine l'una dall'altra, altrimenti sembra che cerco solo di occupare spazio (^_^) ma ho cominciato ad amare questo brano dopo aver visto "The wheater man", un bellissimo film con Nicolas Cage.

"Quando penso a mio padre, mi viene in mente la canzone 'Like A Stone'".
Cit. di David Spritz, al funerale del padre, l'unica frase pronunciata prima che il calo di corrente gli togliesse la parola.


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

(chorus)
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
