I usually am not one to post the lyrics to a song, but this is how I feel at the moment, I think I am just tired. However, I do love the imagry of this song. I remember two months ago when a friend of mine died this was one of the songs that played eternally in my soul. My only version of this song is in the album, the actual LP, there is just something special when I hear things like this on LP. I remember years ago when this song was introduced to me as a child. It was the only tape we had in the car, and anytime my mother would drive me anywhere over and over again we listed to this short album. It brings back memories for me of simple times, trips to camp, and sleeping in the car when someone else would drive. The entire album is amazing if you ever get the chance to hear it I recomend it. So anyway, maybe you are like me and don't need to hear the song, knowing the lyircs and tune are always enough for me, I can sing them forever in my mind.
So from the album "So Far" I present to you Crosby Stills Nash and Young, "Helplessy Hoping."
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearsby
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 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 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 its loose in a lady who lingers saying she is lost
And choking on hello
They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other
