simon garfunkel – the dangling conversation lyrics
it’s a still-life watercolor
of a now-late afternoon
as the sun shines through the curtain lace
and shadows wash the room
and we sit and drink our coffee
couched in our indifference
like sh-lls upon the sh-r-
you can hear the ocean roar
in the dangling conversation
and the superficial sighs
the borders of our lives
and you read your emily d-ckinson
and i my robert frost
and we note our place with book markers
that measure what we’ve lost
like a poem poorly written
we are verses out of rhythm
couplets out of rhyme
in syncopated time
and 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 -n-lysis be worthwhile?
is the theater really dead?
and how the room has 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
