Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Helplessly Hoping lyrics

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
