Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - From Her To Eternity 歌词
I wanna tell you 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why
Why that's the one right up top o' mine
I start to cry, I start to cry
Oh, I hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot 'cross the floorboards
All through this lonesome night
I hear her cryin', too
Hot tears come splashin' on down
Leaking through the cracks
Down upon my face
I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
I catch 'em in my mouth
Walk 'n' cry, walk 'n' cry
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
I read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin' every little bit of dirt
Tore out a page 'n' stuffed it inside my shirt
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
From her to eternity
Cry, cry, cry...
She's wearing them blue stockings, I bet
And standin' 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 'n' cry, kneel 'n' cry
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why
Oh, why, why, why?
Oh, 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 it's naggin' at me like a shrew
But, I know that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire her
Ooo, then you know
That little girl would just have to go
Go, go
