Tunie: Helplessly Hoping

A list of 29 words by oroboros.

About

One of the most attractively alliterative, evanescently evocative and hauntingly melodic tunes ever written. By Stephen Stills.

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 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.

    I'd completely forgotten this song--it's like a time machine! Thanks, oroboros.
