I wanna tell you 'bout a girl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You know, she lives in room 29
Why, why?
That's the one right up top of mine
I start to cry, I start to cry
When I hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot 'cross the floorboards
All through this lonesome night
I hear her crying too, hot tears come splashin' down
Leaking through the cracks, down upon my face
I catch 'em in my mouth, I catch 'em in my mouth
I walk and cry
From her to eternity, yeah
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Just walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
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 shinnin' it down the vine
Outta her nightmare and back inside mine
Mine, mine, mine
From her to eternity, whoo!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
Just kneel and cry, just kneel and cry
Just walk and cry, just kneel and cry
Oh, my Lord, cry, cry, cry
Oh, my Lord, I cry
Oh, my Lord, cry, cry, cry
Oh, my Lord, cry, cry, cry
She's wearing those bluestockin's, I bet
And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Hey sister, hey brother
Said yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
I know it must sound absurd
But I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
From her to eternity, whoo!
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
Just walk and cry, just kneel and cry
Just walk and cry, just kneel and cry
This desire to possess her is a wound
And it's nagging at me like a shrew
I know that to possess her is therefore not to desire her
When you know, when you know, well, then you know, then you know
Then that little girl would just have to go
From her to eternity, yeah
From her to eternity
From her to eternity, whoa!
Thank you
