Helplessly Hoping Lyrics & Chords By Steel Train

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word, gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly high

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 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
