From Her To Eternity — текст песни (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds)

Ah wanna tell ya `bout 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!
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` 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!


She`s wearing 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!


O tell me why? O tell me why?
Oh Why? Why? Why?
O tell me why and don`t tell me a lie!
Why the ceiling still shakes? Shakes! Shakes! Shakes!
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?


This desire to possess her is a wound
and its 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, that lil girl would just have to go!
Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!


From her to eternity! [Repeat]
