Let It Be Me

Ray LaMontagne · Gossip in the Grain [2008]

There comes a time,

A time in everyone's life

Where nothing seems to go their way,

Where nothing seems to turn out right

There may come a time,

You just can't seem to find your place

For every door you open,

Seems like you get two slammed in your face



That's when you need someone,

Someone that you, you can call

When all your faith is gone,

It feels like you can't go on



Let it be me

Let it be me

If it's a friend that you need

Let it be me

Let it be me



Feels like you're always comin' up last

Pockets full of nothing, ain't got no cash

No matter where you turn, you ain't got no place to stand

You reach out for something and they slap your hand

I remember all too well,

Just how it feels to be all alone

You feel like you'd give anything,

For just a little place you can call your own



That's when you need someone,

Someone that you, you can call

When all your faith is gone,

It feels like you can't go on



Let it be me

Let it be me

If it's a friend you need

Let it be me

Let it be me



Let it be me

Let it be me

If it's a friend you need

Let it be me

Let it be me

Let it be me
