Richie Havens - 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 good-bye Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and worries The emptiness inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he wonders Did he hear a good-bye or even Hello They are 1 person They are too alone They are 3 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 its loose in a lady who lingers Saying she is lost And choking on hello They are 1 person They are too alone They are 3 together They are for each other
