Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Helplessly Hoping , by - Richie Havens. Song from the album Live At The Cellar Door and at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, in the genre 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 1 person |
| They are 2 alone |
| They are 3 together |
| They are 4 for each other |
| Stand by the stairway you’ll see something certain to tell you |
| Confusion has its cost |
| Love isn’t lying its loose in a lady who lingers |
| Saying she is lost |
| And choking on hello |
| They are 1 person |
| They are 2 alone |
| They are 3 together |
| They are 4 for each other |
