The Dangling Conversation-Simon & Garfunkel

[00:00.00] Lyrics：Paul Simon Music：Paul Simon [00:13.11]It's a still life water color, [00:17.37]Of a now late afternoon, [00:21.15]As the sun shines through the curtained lace [00:25.17]And shadows wash the room. [00:30.03]And we sit and drink our coffee [00:35.79]Couched in our indifference, [00:38.25]Like shells upon the shore [00:40.77]You can hear the ocean roar [00:44.79]In the dangling conversation [00:48.75]And the superficial sighs, [00:52.89]The borders of our lives. [00:59.10]And you read your Emily D**kinson [01:02.34]And I my Robert Frost, [01:07.14]And we note our place with bookmarkers [01:11.16]That measure what we've lost. [01:15.93]Like a poem poorly written [01:21.15]We are verses out of rhythm, [01:24.45]Couplets out of rhyme, [01:26.85]In syncopated time [01:30.45]And the dangled conversation [01:34.62]And the superficial sighs, [01:38.67]Are the borders of our lives. [01:44.88]Yes, we speak of things that matter, [01:49.29]With words that must be said, [01:53.22]'Can analysis be worthwhile?' [01:57.12]'Is the theater really dead?' [02:01.68]And how the room is softly faded [02:07.17]And I only kiss your shadow, [02:10.14]I cannot feel your hand, [02:12.72]You're a stranger now unto me [02:16.26]Lost in the dangling conversation. [02:20.70]And the superficial sighs, [02:24.66]In the borders of our lives.
