She sits alone by a lamppost
trying to find a thought that’s escaped her mind
She says Dad’s the one I love the most
but Stipe’s not far behind
She lets me in
only tell me where’s she’s been
when she’s had too much to drink
I say that I don’t care I just run my hands
through her dark hair and I pray to God
you gotta help me fly away
And just
Let her cry~if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing~if it eases all her pain
Let her go~let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be~Let her be
This morning I woke up alone
found a note by the phone
saying maybe I’ll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn’t know just what to do so
I sat back down had a beer and felt sorry for myself
And just
Let her cry~if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing~if it eases all her pain
Let her go~let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be~Let her be
Last nite I tried to leave
She cried so much I just
could not believe
she was the same girl I
fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to
get high
I sat down on my couch and cried
yelling oh mama please help me
won’t you hold my hand.
-Chorus
