Album Cover Helplessly Hoping

Helplessly Hoping

Crosby, Stills, Nash

4

Helplessly hoping, her harlequin hovers nearby

Awaiting a word

Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spiritHe 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 two alone

They are three together

They are four 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 four each other
