From Her to Eternity

I wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why, why that's the one right up top a mine
I start to cry, I start to cryOh I hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot cross the boards
All through this lonesome night
I hear her cryin' too
Hot-tears come splashin' on down
Leaking through the cracksDown upon my face, I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
Walk n' cry, walk n' cry
Walk n' cry, walk n' cryFrom her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternityI read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin' every lil' bit of dirt
Tore out a page n' stufft it inside my shirt
I fled outa the window
And shinning it down the vine
Outa her nightmare, and back into mine
Mine, O mineFrom her to eternity
From her to eternity
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cryShe's wearing them bloo-stockens, I bet!
And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, I know it must sound absurd
but I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard
Walk n' cry, walk n' cry
Kneel n' cry, kneel n' cryFrom her to eternity
From her to eternityOh 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 wound
And it's naggin' at me like a shrew
But, I know, that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire herOh then, that lil' girl would just have to go
Go! Go! From her to eternity
Go from her to eternity
From her to eternityFrom her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternityFrom her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
