From Her To Eternity Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[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 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!

[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
Cry! Cry! Cry!

[Verse 3]
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!

[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
O o o then ya know
That lil girl would just have to go!
Go! Go!
From her to eternity!
