Helplessly Hoping Lyrics

 by 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 good-bye
 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 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
