Lyrics

[ti:Helplessly Hoping]
[00:03.180] Helplessly hoping
[00:05.180] Her harlequin hovers nearby
[00:09.180] Awaiting a word
[00:14.180] Gasping at glimpses
[00:17.180] Of gentle true spirit
[00:20.180] He runs, wishing he could fly
[00:25.180] Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
[00:34.180] Wordlessly watching
[00:36.180] He waits by the window
[00:39.180] And wonders
[00:41.180] At the empty place inside
[00:46.180] Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
[00:51.180] He worries
[00:52.180] Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?
[01:02.180] They are one person
[01:05.180] They are two alone
[01:07.180] They are three together
[01:10.180] They are four for each other
[01:20.180] Stand by the stairway
[01:22.180] You'll see something
[01:24.180] Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
[01:31.180] Love isn't lying
[01:34.180] It's loose in a lady who lingers
[01:38.180] Saying she is lost
[01:42.180] And choking on hello
[01:48.180] They are one person
[01:51.180] They are two alone
[01:54.180] They are three together
[01:56.180] They are four for each other
