Helplessly Hoping
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young


Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearsby 
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit 
he runs wishing he could fly
only to trip at the sound of good-bye


Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
at the empty place inside


Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
did he hear a good-bye or even


Hello
They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other


Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
confusion has its cost


Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost


And choking on hello
They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other
