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? 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. You are correct, this song is about two young lovers. I'd venture that it's a romance built largely around the wordplay in the lyrics.
This stanza is a portrait of a confused and like the original "Harlequin", speechless young man who is attracted as so many of us are to an elusive lover that is leaving "sound of goodbye". Now that his lover is gone, he pines and misses her. But has she really left?
He doesn't know if his love interest is entering or leaving his life "hello" or "goodbye". This is the love interest, the Columbine to the Harlequin, an equally confused young lady who is trying to leave, but instead "lingers" feeling "lost. Each number after the first one is a pun. You should read this as:. They are one person They are too alone They are free together They are for each other.
As with many songs, the chorus answers the questions and resolves the confusions of the verses. The lovers may not know if they are destined for each other, but the chorus confirms their pre-ordained love. They are "one person" --that's possibly an allusion to pseudo Aristophanes 's myth that soulmates are two halves of the same person, from Plato's Symposium. They are lonely, they bring each other freedom, and finally, they are "for each other. This song was written by Steven Stills.
It was written when he was trying to make ends meet as a session musician, before he became a superstar. The woman in the song he is writing about is Judy Collins , who he met and fell in love with working as a session musician. She was a huge star at the time, as big as you could get in the folk music scene in He was not, as the band he belonged to had just broken up.
Anyways, they did start a relationship, and she already had a son who Steven adored. I believe thats where the "3 together" line comes in. So, as this goes on, Judy meets actor Stacy Keach, who also gets along extremely well her son. She drops Steven, and goes with Stacy. At the empty place inside. Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries. I had not listened closely to the song in the 's. I was young then and of course it can be one's own interpretation, but for me it has special meaning now because my 87 year old mother has dementia.
I feel "helpless" to rescue her from this. I just heard the song playing a minute ago. Explore 3 meanings or write yours. Watch official video, print or download text in PDF.
