Let Her Cry

She sits alone by a lamppost Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind She says, '€œDad's the one I love the most But Stipe's not far behind'€ She never 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 standing by the phone Saying baby, maybe I'll be back some day 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, saying 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 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 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 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
