Ah wanna tell you about a girl
You know she lives in room 29
Why Why
That's the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry Ah start to cry
O Ah hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
All thru this lonesome night
Ah hear her crying too
Hot-tears come splashin on down
Leaking thru the cracks
Down upon my face
Ah catch'em in my mouth
Ah catch'em in my mouth
Ah catch'em in my mouth
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt
Fled outa the window
And shinning it down the vine
Outa her night-mare
And back into mine
Mine O Mine
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Cry Cry cry cry
She's wearing them bloo-stockens ah bet
And standing like this
Listen Ah know it must sound absurd
But Ah can hear
The most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard
Walking cry Kneeling cry-y
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
This desire to possess her is a wound
And it's naggin at me like a shrew
But Ah know that to possess her
Is therefore not to desire her
O o o then ya know
O o o then ya know
O o o then ya know
That lil girl would just have to go
Go Go-o-o From her to eternity
From her to eternity
