From Her To Eternity Lyrics

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 cry

Oh 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 cracks

Down 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' cry

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

I 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 mine

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

Cry, cry, cry

Cry, cry, cry

She's wearing them bloo-stockens, I bet!Nick Cave - From Her To Eternity - http://motolyrics.com/nick-cave/from-her-to-eternity-lyrics.html

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' cry

From her to eternity

From 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 wound

And it's naggin' at me like a shrew

But, I know, that to possess her

Is, therefore, not to desire her

Oh then, that lil' girl would just have to go

Go! Go! From her to eternity

Go from her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

Cry, cry, cry

Cry, cry, cry, cry
