Helpless

[L French <lrfrench>]

  TWELVE entered the Billboard chart at # 60, beating the debut numbers of Patti's last two albums, but it still sold only 11,000 copies (it should have at least reached Twelve thousand!). 
   
  Overall, last week saw a "new record low" of overall music sales, down to only 7.7 million albums. 
   
  Meanwhile, here's the lyrics Patti added to a far more memorable version of  HELPLESS that was done with Neil Young at the Bridge School Benefit concert in October, 1996.    
   
   
  HELPLESS (Neil Young) 
   
  There is a town in north Ontario 
  With dream comfort memory to spare 
  And in my mind I still need a place to go 
  All my changes were there 
   
  Blue, blue windows behind the stars 
  Yellow moon on the rise 
  Big birds flying across the sky 
  Throwing shadows on our eyes 
   
  Leave us, helpless, helpless, helpless 
   
  Blue, blue windows, behind the stars 
  Yellow moon on the rise 
  Big birds flying across the sky 
  Throwing shadows on our eyes 
   
  Helpless, helpless, helpless 
   
  PATTI:  I held you in my arms 
  You were so young and small 
  In my arms 
  and I imagined you 
  Racing through 
  Lightning fields 
  I imagined you 
  Running from star to star 
  I couldnt feel you 
  Within the bluest field 
  You and me running instead  
  But I was so  
   
  Helpless, helpless, helpless 
  I was so Helpless, helpless, helpless
   
  And I could measure 
  the breath of your heart 
  I didnt know the depth 
  Of your soul 
  I could see 
  See images going 
  Through your mind 
  They were so far better than 
  My own 
  And then I will not just be 
   
  Helpless, helpless, helpless 
   
  Baby can you hear me now? 
  The chains are locked and tied across the door 
  Baby, sing with me somehow 
   
  Helpless, helpless, helpless
