She sits alone by a lampost
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 cryif the tears fall down like rain
Let her singif it eases all her pain
Let her golet her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her belet her be

This morning I woke up alone
found a note standin' 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

Sayin'
Let her cryif the tears fall down like rain
Let her singif it eases all her pain
Let her golet her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her belet her be

Let her cryif the tears fall down like rain
Let her singif it eases all her pain
Let her golet her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her beawww

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 mama, please help me!
Won't you hold my hand?"

And
Let her cryif the tears fall down like rain
Let her singif it eases all her pain
Let her golet her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her belet her be

Let her cryif the tears fall down like rain
Let her singif it eases all her pain
Let her golet her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her belet her be
