Dangling Conversation Lyric | Simon and Garfunkel |  |  | THE BEST OF SIMON & GARFUNKEL |  |
| | | | |
It's a still life water color, Of a now late
afternoon, As the sun shines through the curtained lace And shadows wash
the room. And we sit and drink our coffee Couched in our
indifference, Like shells upon the shore You can hear the ocean roar In
the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs, Are the borders of
our lives.
And you read your Emily Dickinson, And I my Robert
Frost, And we note our place with bookmarkers That measure what we've
lost. Like a poem poorly written We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets
out of rhyme, In syncopated time Lost in the dangling conversation And
the superficial sighs, Are the borders of our lives.
Yes, we speak of
things that matter, With words that must be said, "Can analysis be
worthwhile?" "Is the theater really dead?" And how the room is softly
faded And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand, You're a
stranger now unto me Lost in the dangling conversation. And the
superficial sighs, In the borders of our lives.
