Let Her Go by Dougie MacLean Lyrics

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
