"Let Her Cry" by Hootie & The Blowfish (lyrics have been tweaked to fit the story) He sits alone by a lamppost Trying to find a thought that's escaped his mind He says Dad's the one I love the most But Stipe's not far behind He never lets me in Only tell me where's he's been When he's had too much to drink I say that I don't care I just run my hands Through his dark hair and I pray to God You gotta help me fly away And just... Let him cry...if the tears fall down like rain Let him sing...if it eases all his pain Let him go...let him walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let him be...let him be. This morning I woke up alone Found a note standing 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. -Chorus- -Solo- -Chorus- Last night I tried to leave He cried so much I could not believe He was the same boy I fell in love with long ago He 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-
