Lyrics:Paul Simon Music: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 lives. | |
And you read your Emily Dickinson, | |
And I my Robert Frost, | |
And we note our place with bookmarkers | |
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 dangled 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?' | |
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 lives. |

It' s a still life water color, | |

Couched in our indifference, | |
Like shells upon the shore | |
You can hear the ocean roar | |

And the superficial sighs, | |

And we note our place with bookmarkers | |
That measure what we' ve lost. | |

Lost in the dangling conversation. | |
And the superficial sighs, | |
In the borders of our lives. |
