From Her To Eternity

Cm
I wanna tell you about a girl You know, she lives in room 29 Why that's the one right up top a mine Oh I hear her walking Walking barefoot cross the floorboards All through this lonesome night I hear her crying too Hot tears come splashing down Leaking through the cracks Down upon my face Catch 'em in my mouth! Catch 'em in my mouth! Catch 'em in my mouth! Ah catch 'em in my mouth! Ah Walk and cry! Walk and cry! Ah Walk and cry! Ah 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 bit of dirt Tore out a page and stuff it inside my shirt I fled outta the window And shinning it down the vine Outta her nightmare into mine! Mine! Mine! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! She's wearing those blue stockings, I bet And standing 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! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Ah tell me why, ah tell me why Oh Why, why, why? O tell me why and don't tell me lie! Why the ceiling still shakes, shake, shakes, shakes! And all the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes? This desire to possess her is a wound And it's nagging at me like a shrew But I know, that to possess her Is therefore not to desire her Oh oh oh then ya know, that little girl Would just have to go! Go! Go! From her to eternity! From her to eternity!

And gimme, gimme, gimme your precious love for me to hold The epic of Gilgamesh A pretty little black A-line dress I give to you The spinal cord of JFK Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee I give to you I want nothing in return Just the softest little breathless word I ask of you A word contained in a grain of sand That can barely walk can't even stand I ask of you Oh c'mon baby, let's get out of the cold And gimme, gimme, gimme your precious love for me to hold
