HELPLESSLY HOPING
(Stephen Stills)

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 good-bye?
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
