From Her to Eternity

Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she lives in apt. 29 Why? That's the one right up top a mine I start to cry, I start to cry Oh, I hear her walkin' Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards All through this lonesome night And I hear her crying too Hot-tears come splashin' on down Leaking through the cracks Down upon my face I catch 'em in my mouth Walk and cry, walk and cry From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity I read her diary on her sheets Scrutinizing every little piece of dirt Tore out a page and stuffed it inside my shirt Fled outta the window And shinning it down the vine Outta her nightmare 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, 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, kneel and cry From her to eternity From her to eternity Oh tell me why? Why? Why? Why the ceiling still shakes? Why the fixtures turn to serpents 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 O o o then ya know That lil girl would just have to go Go! Go! From her to eternity
