Let her cry      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 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 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 by the phone   Saying maybe, 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.      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.      -solo-      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 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.      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 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...let her be.
