Helplessly Hoping

Helplessly hopin', her harlequin hovers nearby

Awaitin' the word

Gaspin' at glimpses of gentle true spirit

He runs, wishin' he could fly

Only to trip at the sound of "Goodbye"

Wordlessly watchin'

He waits by the window

And wonders

At the empty place inside

Heartlessly helpin' himself to her bad dreams

He worries

Did he hear a goodbye?

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 somethin' certain

To tell you, "Confusion has its cost"

Love isn't lyin', it's loose in a lady who lingers

Sayin' she is lost

And chokin' on "Hello"

They are one person

They are two alone

They are three together

They are for each other
