DANGLING CONVERSATION                  (Simon & Garfunkel)
Intro:  F C G, C G F, C, Am, Em, Am

       F          C     G           F        C    G
It's a still-life water-colour of a now-late afternoon,
       F          C           G                C                Am    Em, Am
As the sun shines through the curtain-lace and shadows wash the room,

And we sit and drink our coffee,
A#                            A
Cast in our indifference like shells along the shore,
        G
You can hear the ocean roar,


Chorus
            F        C     G
Lost in the dangling conversation,
        C    G      F
And the superficial sighs,
                   C     Am, Em, Am
The borders of our lies.



And you read your Emily Dickinson, and I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers, and measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written,
We are verses out of rhythm, couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time.

Chorus


Yes we speak the things that matter, with words that must be said.
"Can analysis be worthwhile?" "Is the theatre really dead?"
And now the room is softly faded,
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me.

Chorus
