Helplessly Hoping — текст песни (Crosby, Still, Nash and Young)

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 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
