Dangling Conversation by Simon & Garfunkel
Dangling Conversation
Capo III
C G D G D C C G Em
C G D
It's a still life water color
C G D
Of a now late afternoon
C G Am
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
G Em
And shadows wash the room
G
And we sit and drink our coffee
F E
Cast in our indifference, like shells upon the shore
D
You can hear the ocean roar
C G D G D C
In the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs
G Em
The borders of our lives
C G D
And you read your Emily Dickenson
C G D
And I my Robert Frost
C G Am
And we note our place with bookmarkers
G Em
That measure what we've lost
G
Like a poem poorly written
F E
We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme
D
In syncopated time
C G D G D C
And the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
G Em
Are the borders of our lives
C G D
Yes we speak of things that matter
C G D
With words that must be said
C G Am
Can analysis be worthwhile
G Em
Is the theater really dead?
G
And how the room is softly faded
F E
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand
D
You're a stranger now unto me
C G D G D C
Lost in the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
G Em
In the borders of our lives

Verse2
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 synchopated time
Chorus
And the dangling conversation and the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
Verse3
Yes we speak of things that matter with words that must be said
Can analysis be worthwhile? Is the theatre 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
