Helplessly Hoping

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 goodbye 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 goodbye? Or even a 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 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 each other
