Crosby, Stills & Nash Lyrics
"Helplessly Hoping"

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers
Nearby 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 for 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

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
