The Dangling Conversation

Joan Baez
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It's a still life water color,
2
Of a now late afternoon,
3
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
4
And shadows wash the room.
5
And we sit and drink our coffee
6
Couched in our indifference,
7
Like shells upon the shore
8
You can hear the ocean roar
9
In the dangling conversation
10
And the superficial sighs,
11
The borders of our alliance.
12
And you read your Emily Dickinson,
13
And I my Robert Frost,
14
And we note our place with bookmarkers
15
That measure what we've lost.
16
Like a poem poorly written
17
We are verses out of rhythm,
18
Couplets out of rhyme,
19
In syncopated time
20
And the dangled conversation
21
And the superficial sighs,
22
Are the borders of our alliance.
23
Yes, we speak of things that matter,
24
With words that must be said,
25
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
26
"Is the theater really dead?"
27
And how the room is softly faded
28
And I only kiss your shadow,
29
I cannot feel your hand,
30
You're a stranger now unto me
31
Lost in the dangling conversation.
32
And the superficial sighs,
33
In the borders of our alliance.
