Lyrics

(Am)Helplessly hoping, her (C)harlequin hovers (G)nearby,

awaiting a word.

(Am)Gasping at glimpses of (C)gentle true spirit,

he (G)runs, wishing he could fly,

only to (Am7)trip at the sound of goodbye.

(Am)Wordlessly watching, he (C)waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside.

(Am)Heartlessly helping (C)himself to her bad dreams,

he worries, did he hear a goodbye

or (Am7)even (C)on hello?

They are (G)one person,

they are two alone,

they are three together,

they are for

(Dm)each (C)other.

(Am)Stand by the stairway, you'll (C)see something certain to tell you confu empsion has its cost.

(Am)Love isn't lying, it's (C)loose in a lady who lingers,

did he in' she is lost

and (Am7)choking (C)on hello.

They are (G)one person,

they are two alone,

they are three together,

they are for

(Dm)each (C)other.
