《The Dangling Conversation》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dangling Conversation - Simon & Garfunkel (西蒙与加丰科)

[00:00:13] It's a still life water color

[00:00:17] Of a now late afternoon

[00:00:21] As the sun shines through the curtained lace

[00:00:25] And shadows wash the room

[00:00:30] And we sit and drink our coffee

[00:00:36] Couched in our indifference

[00:00:38] Like shells upon the shore

[00:00:41] You can hear the ocean roar

[00:00:45] In the dangling conversation

[00:00:49] And the superficial sighs

[00:00:53] The borders of our lives

[00:00:59] And you read your Emily Dickinson

[00:01:03] And I my Robert Frost

[00:01:07] And we note our place with bookmarkers

[00:01:11] That measure what we've lost

[00:01:16] Like a poem poorly written

[00:01:21] We are verses out of rhythm

[00:01:25] Couplets out of rhyme

[00:01:27] In syncopated time

[00:01:31] Lost in the dangling conversation

[00:01:35] And the superficial sighs

[00:01:39] Are the borders of our lives

[00:01:45] Yes we speak of things that matter

[00:01:49] With words that must be said

[00:01:53] "Can analysis be worthwhile "

[00:01:57] "Is the theater really dead "

[00:02:02] And how the room is softly faded

[00:02:07] And I only kiss your shadow

[00:02:10] I cannot feel your hand

[00:02:13] You're a stranger now unto me

[00:02:16] Lost in the dangling conversation

[00:02:21] And the superficial sighs

[00:02:25] In the borders of our lives
