I wanna tell you about a girl
Huh
You know, she lives in Room 29
Why, why?
Well, that′s the one right up top of mine
I start to cry
I start to cry
When I hear her walkin'
Hear walking barefoot cross the board
All through this lonesome night
I hear her crying 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
Walk and cry
From her to eternity
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 read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizing every little piece of dirt
I tore out a page
Stuffed it inside my shirt
Shinning it down the window
Shinning it down the vine
Outta her nightmare and back into mine
Mine, mine, mine
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
I walk and cry, I kneel and cry
Yeah, oh
Just hear the crack
You hear the crack
Just walk and cry
Just walk and cry
I walk and cry
I kneel and cry
Yes, walk and cry
Cry
Walk and cry
I kneel and cry, I kneel and cry
I kneel and cry
She's wearing those blue stockings, I bet
And I know, standing like this with my ear to the ceiling
Hey, sister
Hey, brother
I know it must sound absurd
Just walk and cry, yes, kneel and cry
Just walk and cry
Yes, kneel and cry
But I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard
Walk and cry
Kneel and cry, oh
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Well, cry, cry, cry
Well, walk and cry
Well, kneel and cry
Oh, walk and cry
Worst desire to possess her is a wound
It′s naggin′ at me like a shrew
I know that to possess her is therefore
Not to desire her
Oh, then you know
Well, then you know
Well, then you know
Well, then you know
That little girl will just have to go
Go, go, go
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
From her to eternity
Huh!
