let her cry

she sits alone

by a lamp post

trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind

she says dar'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

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 standin' 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 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

oh. 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

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

oh

oh. 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.
