Helplessly Hoping - Crosby, Stills & Nash

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 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

Well I'm sorry for the time that I've been taking And the lines that I've crossed The mess that I've been making And for everything you've lost The heart that I've been breaking For the damage and the cost Oh forgive me darling I am helplessly lost I'm sorry for the stories that I told you And the lies that I spoke The future that I sold you And the promises I broke For the love that I've been taking Warmed with nothing but the frost Oh forgive me darling I am helplessly lost How many deals will I make With the devil what's it take For a foolish man to learn How many years will I go Setting fire to all I know Just to watch the city burn Oh my dear we've reached a river we can't cross So leave me here for I am helplessly lost

(Piano and Bass) Waking Stream of consciousness On a sleeping Street of dreams Thoughts Like scattered leaves Slowed in midfall Into the streams Of fast running rivers Of choice and chance And time stops here on the delta While they dance, while they dance Instrumental (Pedal Steel Guitar) I love the child Who steers this riverboat Lately he's crazy For the deep And the river seems dreamlike In the daytime And someone keeps thinking In my sleep About fast running rivers Of choice and chance And time stops here on the delta While they dance, while they dance While they dance Aaahh ... While they dance da, da, da ... While they dance da, da, da ... While they dance da, da, da ... While they dance, dance river dance While they dance da, da, da ... Instrumental Ending (Bass, Keyboards and Pedal Steel Guitar) da, da, da ...

Six o' clock in the morning I feel pretty good So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords Fighting dragons and crossing swords With the people against the hordes who came to conquer Seven o'clock in the morning Here it comes, I taste the warning And I'm so amazed I'm here today Seeing things so clear this way In the car and on my way to Stonehenge I'm flying in Winchester cathedral Sunlight pouring through the break of day Stumbled through the door and into the chamber There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on her face And a feeling deep inside of me Tells me this can't be the place I'm flying in Winchester cathedral All religion has to have its day Expressions on the face of the Savior Made me say "I can't stay" Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here Too many people have lied in the name of Christ For anyone to heed the call So many people have died in the name of Christ That I can't believe it all Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799 And the day he died it was a birthday And I noticed it was mine And my head didn't know just who I was And I went spinning back in time And I am high upon the altar High upon the altar, high I'm flying in Winchester cathedral It's hard enough to drink the wine The air inside just hangs in delusion But given time I'll be fine Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here Too many people have lied in the name of Christ For anyone to heed the call Too many people have died in the name of Christ That I can't believe it all And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799 And the day he died it was a birthday And I noticed it was mine And my head didn't know just who I was And I went spinning back in time And I am high upon the altar High upon the altar, high

One morning I woke up and I knew You were really gone A new day, a new way, and new eyes To see the dawn. Go your way, I'll go mine and Carry on The sky is clearing and the night Has cried enough The sun, he come, the world To soften up Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but To carry on The fortunes of fables are able To see the dawn Now witness the quickness with which We get along To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and Carry on Carry on Love is coming Love is coming to us all Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow? Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow? Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams What you do and what you see Lover can you talk to me? Girl when I was on my own Chasing you down What was it made you run? Trying your best just to get around. The questions of a thousand dreams What you do and what you see Lover can you talk to me?
