The Dangling Conversation Lyrics - Simon And Garfunkel

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 shells upon the shore 

You can hear the ocean roar 

In the dangling conversation 

And the superficial sighs 

The borders of our lives

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 

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 analysis be worthwhile? 

Is the theater really dead? 

Photos 

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
