Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Only to tr ip at the sound of good-bye
Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
He artlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-b ye? Or ev en 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 ch oking on hello
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are four for each other
