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 good-bye
|
|
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 hello?
|
|
They are one person
|
They are two alone
|
They are three together
|
They are four 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 four for each other
|
