Helplessly Hoping Songtext
von Crosby, Stills & Nash

You stayed
We′re gonna do one or two quiet things for you
Then we're gonna rock out
See if we can pull off a little three part

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 hello?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other


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

This is a song you may not have heard before
We get a little upset with all the people
Who are getting killed in the name of, "My god is better than your god"
(My god′s better than your god)
Wow
So I wrote this song, it′s really a small prayer
A song called, "In Your Name"
