Cover art for Helplessly Hoping lyrics by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

For me this has helped dealing with my wife’s terminal cancer. It resonates The harlequin is her spirit. And I can sense her spirit. It’s me trying to grab hold of it in the first verse. The second verse is me staring out the hospital window as I think she is dying. Hoping she’ll wake and say hello. The last verse is me meeting her after I have died. The chorus is one me, two us together, three when the first born arrived, four when second born arrived.
