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
