from her to eternity - nick cave lyrics

ah wanna tell ya ’bout a girl
you kno, she lives in apt. 29
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
and 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!
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 piece 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 kno 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? why? why?
why the ceiling still shakes?
why the fixtures turn to serpants snakes?
this desire to possess her is a wound
and it’s naggin at me like a shrew
but, ah kno, that to possess her
is, therefore, not to desire her.
o o o then ya kno, that lil girl would just have to go!
go! go-o-o! from her to eternity!
