The Dangling Conversation (Live at Lincoln Center, New York City, NY - January 1967)-Simon & Garfunkel

[00:00.00] 作词 : Paul Simon [00:00.21] 作曲 : Paul Simon [00:00.43]The Dangling Conversation [00:29.45]It's a still life water color, [00:31.63] [00:33.37]Of a now late afternoon, [00:35.25] [00:36.99]As the sun shines through the curtained lace [00:39.44] [00:40.82]And shadows wash the room. [00:43.33] [00:45.51]And we sit and drink our coffee [00:47.70] [00:51.07]Couched in our indifference, [00:52.38] [00:53.13]Like shells upon the shore [00:54.50]You can hear the ocean roar [00:56.81] [00:59.62]In the dangling conversation [01:01.67] [01:03.44]And the superficial sighs, [01:05.11] [01:07.42]The borders of our lives. [01:08.73] [01:13.24]And you read your Emily Dickinson, [01:16.23] [01:17.30]And I my Robert Frost, [01:19.31] [01:20.99]And we note our place with bookmarkers [01:23.45] [01:24.75]That measure what we've lost. [01:26.62] [01:29.37]Like a poem poorly written [01:31.56] [01:34.36]We are verses out of rhythm, [01:36.68] [01:37.56]Couplets out of rhyme, [01:39.12] [01:39.74]In syncopated time [01:41.67] [01:45.30]Lost in the dangling conversation [01:47.23] [01:47.92]And the superficial sighs, [01:49.54] [01:51.35]Are the borders of our lives. [01:53.66] [01:57.28]Yes, we speak of things that matter, [01:59.27] [02:01.58]With words that must be said, [02:03.08] [02:05.09]"Can analysis be worthwhile?" [02:07.11] [02:08.54]"Is the theater really dead?" [02:10.47] [02:13.22]And how the room is softly faded [02:15.65] [02:18.46]And I only kiss your shadow, [02:20.58] [02:21.14]I cannot feel your hand, [02:22.83] [02:23.70]You're a stranger now unto me [02:25.95] [02:27.13]Lost in the dangling conversation. [02:29.51] [02:31.63]And the superficial sighs, [02:33.31] [02:35.37]In the borders of our lives [02:40.30] [02:40.99]
