From Her to Eternity (Live)

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

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 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

From her to eternity

From her to eternity

Oh, cry, cry, cry

Oh, cry, cry, cry

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

From her to eternity

From her to eternity (Why)

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

From her to eternity

I go from her to eternity

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)
