The Dangling Conversation
Lyricist:Paul Simon
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 The borders of our alliance
And you read your Emily Dickinson And I my Robert Frost And we note our place with book markers That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We are verses out of rhythm Couplets out of rhyme In syncopated time
And the dangled conversation And the superficial sighs Are the borders of our alliance
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 alliance
