Helplessly Hoping
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near by awaiting a word Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs, wishing he could fly Only to trip at the sound of goodbye 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 goodbye Or even ... hello ? They are one person, they are two alone, they are three together They are four ... each other Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you Confusion has its cost Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost And choking ... on hello
