[janejane15]

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 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 Saying baby, 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 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

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 momma, please help me Won't you hold my hand and...
Let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing I
f 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.
