Loading the chords for 'Crosby, Stills Nash - Helplessly Hoping'.
Helplessly hopingHer harlequin hovers nearbyAwaiting a wordGasping at glimpsesOf gentle true spiritHe runs, wishing he could flyOnly to trip at the sound of good-byeWordlessly watchingHe waits by the windowAnd wondersAt the empty place insideHeartlessly helping himself to her bad dreamsHe worriesDid he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?They are one personThey are two aloneThey are three togetherThey are for-or each otherStand by the stairwayYou'll see somethingCertain to tell you confusion has its costLove isn't lyingIt's loose in a lady who lingersSaying she is lostAnd choking on helloThey are one personThey are two aloneThey are three togetherThey are for-or each otherLyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind | By: Stephen A.

Intro

Helplessly hoping

Verse

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-or 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-or each other

Outro
