I see your tired and empty eyes And the pain of a life that's broken Little darling though everybody tries No the door it will never open Let her go let her go Set her free and let her go Her mother whispers soft and low Just set her free and please let her go Just a little flower that's wilting in the cruel haze of fate And of time's survival Just a little girl who has no more time to wait For mystery's cool revival Let her go let her go Set her free and let her go Her mother whispers soft and low Just set her free and please let her go And so we shout our anger and we shout our shame But we're sure no one will hear us And so we take the burden and we take the blame And hope she's always near us Let her go let her go Set her free and let her go Her mother whispers soft and low Just set her free and please let her go
