From Her to Eternity

[Verse 1] I wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she lives in room twenty-nine Why, why? Ah, that's the one right up top of mine I start to cry, I start to cry Oh, I hear her walkin' Walkin' barefoot 'cross the floorboards All through this lonesome night I hear her crying too, hot tears come splashin' down Leaking through the cracks, down upon my face I catch 'em in my mouth, catch 'em in my mouth Catch 'em in my mouth, I catch 'em in my mouth Walk an' cry, walk an' cry, walk an' cry I walk an' cry [Chorus] From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity [Verse 2] I read her diary on her sheets, scrutinizing every little bit of dirt Tore out a page and stuffed it inside my shirt I fled outta the window and shinnin' it down the vine Outta her nightmare and back inside mine Mine, mine [Chorus] From her to eternity From her to eternity Oh, cry, cry, cry Oh, cry, cry, cry [Verse 3] She's wearing those bluestockin's, 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 and cry, walk and cry, kneel and cry, kneel and cry [Chorus] From her to eternity From her to eternity (Why) [Verse 4] Oh, tell me why? Oh, tell me why? Oh, why, why, why? Oh, tell me why? 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 her Well, then that little girl will just have to go, go [Chorus] From her to eternity I go from her to eternity [Outro] From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry) From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry) From her to eternity (Why did I cry? Why did I cry? Why did I cry?) From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry) From her to eternity (Why did I cry? Why did I cry? Why did I cry? Why did I cry?) From her to eternity (Cry, cry) From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry) From her to eternity (Cry, cry, cry) (Cry, cry, cry, cry)
