Helplessly Hoping

Helplessly Hoping.. CSN (1969)

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near-by, 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 in-side

Heartlessly helping him-self to her bad dreams he worries did he hear

a goodbye or even... hel-lo?

They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether, they

are for... each other

Stand by the starway 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 hel-lo.
