From Her To Eternity

Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl

You know, she lives in room 29

Why... why... that's the one right up top a mine

Ah start to cry, ah start to cry





O ah hear her walkin'

Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards

All thru this lonesome night

Ah hear her crying too.

Hot-tears come splashin on down

Leaking thru the cracks,

Down upon my face, ah catch'em in my mouth!

Ah catch'em in my mouth!

Ah catch'em in my mouth!

Walk'n'cry walk'n'cry-y!!!





From her to eternity!

From her to eternity!

From her to eternity!





Ah read her diary on her sheets

Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt

Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt

Fled outa the window,

And shinning it down the vine

Outa her night-mare, and back into mine

Mine! o mine!





From her to eternity!

From her to eternity!

From her to eternity!

Cry! cry! cry!





She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!

And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling

Listen, ah know it must sound absurd

But ah can hear the most melancholy sound

Ah ever heard!

Walk'n'cry! kneel'n'cry-y!





From her to eternity!

From her to eternity!





O tell me why? o tell me why?

Oh why? why? why?

O tell me why and don't tell me a lie!

Why the ceiling still shakes? shakes! shakes! shakes!

Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?





This desire to possess her is a wound

And its naggin at me like a shrew

But, ah know, that to possess her

Is, therefore, not to desire her.





O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!

Go! go-o-o! from her to eternity!





From her to eternity! [repeat]
