(A Belated) Invite to Eternity (Live) - Stornoway

I wanna tell ya 'bout a girl You know, she lives in Room 29 Why that's the one right up top a mine I start to cry, ah start to cry-y O I hear her walkin' Walkin' barefoot cross the floorboards All through this lonesome night And I hear her crying too Hot tears come splashin' down Leakin' through the cracks Down upon my face, I catch 'em in my mouth Catch 'em in my mouth, catch 'em in my mouth, I catch 'em in my mouth Walk 'n' Cry, walk 'n' Cry-y Walk 'n' Cry, I walk 'n' Cry-y From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity I read her diary on her sheets Scrutinizin' ev'ry li'l piece of dirt Tore out a page 'n' stufft it inside my shirt I fled outta the window And shinning it down the vine Outta her nightmare and back into mine Mine, O mine From her to eternity From her to eternity Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! She's wearin' them bloo-stockens, 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! Walk 'n' Cry! Kneel 'n' Cry-y! Kneel 'n' Cry-y! From her to eternity From her to eternity Oh, tell me why Why, tell me why-hy-y Tell me why, don't tell me a lie Why the ceiling still shakes? (shake, shake, shake) 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 O o o that lil girl would just have to go (go) To eternity, to eternity Go! Go! Go! From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity From her to eternity
