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.    -Chorus-    -Solo-    -Chorus-    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-    -Chorus-
