Let her cry

She sits alone by a lamp post
Tryin' to find the 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 too 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
Sayin', \"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 and had a beer and felt sorry for myself.

Sayin' 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.
Ah. Oh. No, no, no, no.

Let her cry 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, Ah

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, yellin',
\"Oh, mama, please help me.\"
Won't you hold my hand and

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 ease all her pain.
Let her go, let her walk right out on me.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be.
Ah, let her be.
