From her to eternity

Ah wanna tell ya ´bout a girl
You know, she lives in Room 29
Why that´s the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, ah start to cry-y
O ah hear her walkin´
Walkin´ barefoot cross the floorboards
All through this lonesome night
And ah hear her crying too
Hot tears come splashin´ down
Leakin´ through the cracks
Down upon my face, ah catch ´em in my mouth!
Walk ´n´ Cry, Walk ´n´ Cry-y!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin´ ev´ry li´l piece of dirt.
Tore out a page ´n´ stufft it inside my shirt.
Fled outta the window
And shinning it down the vine
Outta her nightmare and back into mine.
Mine! O mine!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Cry! Cry! Cry!
She´s wearin´ them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
And standin´ like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, ah know it must sound absurd
But ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walk ´n´ Cry! Kneel ´n´ Cry-y!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity.
You know, she lives in Room 29
Why that´s the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, ah start to cry-y
O ah hear her walkin´
Walkin´ barefoot cross the floorboards
All through this lonesome night
And ah hear her crying too
Hot tears come splashin´ down
Leakin´ through the cracks
Down upon my face, ah catch ´em in my mouth!
Walk ´n´ Cry, Walk ´n´ Cry-y!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin´ ev´ry li´l piece of dirt.
Tore out a page ´n´ stufft it inside my shirt.
Fled outta the window
And shinning it down the vine
Outta her nightmare and back into mine.
Mine! O mine!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Cry! Cry! Cry!
She´s wearin´ them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
And standin´ like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, ah know it must sound absurd
But ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walk ´n´ Cry! Kneel ´n´ Cry-y!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity.
