Helplessly Hoping Lyrics

Crosby Stills Nash 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 a hello

Chorus:
They are one person
they are two alone
they are three together
they are four for each other

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

Love isn't lying
it's loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost
and choking on hello

Repeat Chorus
