Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she lives in room twenty-nine Why, why? That's the one right up top a mine I start to cry, I start to cry 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 I catch 'em in my mouth Catch 'em in my mouth Catch 'em in my mouth I catch 'em in my mouth Walk and cry, walk and cry Walk and cry, I'll 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 stuffed it inside my shirt I fled outta the window And shinning it down the vine Outta her nightmare And back into mine Mine, oh mine 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 Kneel and cry, kneel and cry From her to eternity From her to eternity Oh tell me why? Oh tell me why? 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 nagging at me like a shrew But I know, that to possess her Is, therefore, not to desire her Oh, then that little girl would just have to go, go From her to eternity Oh, go, go, go From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity
