Since I stole used a few words from this song as the title of my upcoming post
(currently editing as i went off on a bit of a rant)
… it has been stuck in my head so I’m posting it for you all to enjoy π
Lyrics are posted below. Beautiful poetry!
The Dangling Conversation by Simon & Garfunkel
Of a now-late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
And shadows wash the room
Couched in our indifference, like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book markers
That measure what we’ve lost
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time (in syncopated time)
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
With words that must be said
“Can analysis be worthwhile?”
“Is the theater really dead?”
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand
You’re a stranger now unto me
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives
I’m still sorry they broke up. They always told the truth. Wonderful post.
They were amazing. Beautiful lyrics, messages and vocals!
So lovely, but what was your rant?!
I’ve always loved them π
Oh the rant was in the post “with words that must be said”
