Helplessly Hoping:Crosby, Stills & Nash. From their Album, Crosby, Stills & Nash, 1969. #1. 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. #2. 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 hel..lo? They are one person, they are two alone. They are three together, they are for each other. #3. 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 hel..lo. They are one person, they are two alone. They are three together, they are for each other. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
