From Her To Eternity

I wanna tell ya 'bout a girlYou know, she lives in room 29Why, why that's the one right up top a mineI start to cry, I start to cry

Oh I hear her walkin'Walkin' barefoot cross the boardsAll through this lonesome nightI hear her cryin' tooHot-tears come splashin' on downLeaking through the cracks

Down upon my face, I catch 'em in my mouthI catch 'em in my mouthI catch 'em in my mouthI catch 'em in my mouthWalk n' cry, walk n' cryWalk n' cry, walk n' cry

From her to eternityFrom her to eternityFrom her to eternity

I read her diary on her sheetsScrutinizin' every lil' bit of dirtTore out a page n' stufft it inside my shirtI fled outa the windowAnd shinning it down the vineOuta her nightmare, and back into mineMine, O mine

From her to eternityFrom her to eternityCry, cry, cryCry, cry, cry

She's wearing them bloo-stockens, I bet!And standin' like this with my ear to the ceilingListen, I know it must sound absurdbut I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heardWalk n' cry, walk n' cryKneel n' cry, kneel n' cry

From her to eternityFrom her to eternity

Oh tell me why? Oh tell me why?Oh Why? Why? Why?Oh tell me why and don't tell me a lie!Why the ceiling still shakes? Shake! Shake! Shake!And all the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?

This desire to possess her is a woundAnd it's naggin' at me like a shrewBut, I know, that to possess herIs, therefore, not to desire her

Oh then, that lil' girl would just have to goGo! Go! From her to eternityGo from her to eternityFrom her to eternity

From her to eternityFrom her to eternityFrom her to eternityFrom her to eternity

From her to eternityFrom her to eternityFrom her to eternityFrom her to eternityCry, cry, cryCry, cry, cry, cry
