Crosby Stills And Nash
Box Set Disc1
Helplessly Hoping
by
David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, & Neil 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
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye?
They are one person
We are one person
They are three together
They are for each other
Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on her love
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other
