Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - From Her To Eternity [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, 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!!!

[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!

[Verse 2]
Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizing 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
Outta her night-mare, and back into mine
Mine! O Mine!

[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!
Cry! Cry! CRY!

[Verse 3]
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
And standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen ah know it must sound absurd
But ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y!

[Chorus]
From her to eternity!
From her to eternity!

[Verse 4]
O tell me why? Why? Why?
Why the ceiling still shakes?
Why the fixtures turn to serpents snakes?
This desire to possess her is a wound
And its naggin' at me like a shrew
But, ah know, that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire her

[Chorus]
O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!
