Dangling Conversation-Joan Baez

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Unknown [00:07.62]It's a still life water color [00:11.61]Of a now late afternoon [00:15.24]As the sun shines through the curtained lace [00:19.20]And shadows wash the room [00:24.06]And we sit and drink our coffee [00:29.37]Couched in our indifference [00:31.80]Like shells upon the shore [00:34.32]You can hear the ocean roar [00:39.45]In the dangling conversation [00:43.20]And the superficial sighs [00:47.22]The borders of our alliance [01:01.71]And you read your Emily Dickinson [01:05.70]And I my Robert Frost [01:09.39]And we note our place with bookmarkers [01:11.85]That measure what we've lost [01:18.03]Like a poem poorly written [01:25.08]We are verses out of rhythm [01:25.77]Couplets out of rhyme [01:28.08]In syncopated time [01:33.09]And the dangled conversation [01:36.75]And the superficial sighs [01:40.62]Are the borders of our alliance [01:42.45]Yes, we speak of things that matter [01:50.73]With words that must be said [01:52.23]"Can analysis be worthwhile?" [01:57.96]"Is the theater really dead?" [02:02.82]And how the room is softly faded [02:08.16]And I only kiss your shadow [02:10.56]I cannot feel your hand [02:12.93]You're a stranger now unto me [02:17.46]Lost in the dangling conversation [02:21.63]And the superficial sighs [02:25.68]In the borders of our alliance
