Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the 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

Echo the hook

  • 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
thereroomalone
