She sits alone by a lam-post
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 never lets me in only tells me where she's been
when she's had to much to drink
I say that I don't care I just run my hands through her dark hair
then 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 standing by the phone
saying "maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
you walked in, I didn't know just what I should do
So, I sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself
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, oh
last night I tried to leave
cried so much I 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"
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 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, Oh let her be
