Letra de 'From Her To Eternity' de Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I wanna tell you 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why, why? Ah, that's the one right up top o' mine
I start to cry, I start to cry

Oh, I hear her walkin'
Walking barefoot across the floorboards
All through this lonesome night
I hear her cryin' too
Hot tears come splashing down
Leaking through the cracks
And down upon my face
I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth!
Walk and cry, walk and cry
Walk and cry, 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 out of the window
And shinning it down the vine
Out of her nightmare and back into mine
Mine! O mine!

From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
Cry! Cry! Cry!

But 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 (Why)
From her to eternity (Why did I cry? Why did I cry?)
From her to eternity (the cry, the cry, the cry)
From her to eternity (Why did I cry? Why did I cry?)
From her to eternity (cry, cry!)
From her to eternity (I cry, cry, cry!)
From her to eternity (I cry, cry, cry!)
From her to eternity (I cry, cry, cry!)
