[00:14.50] It's a still life water color
[00:18.38] Of a now late afternoon
[00:22.25] As the sun shines through the curtain lace
[00:26.19] And shadows wash the room
[00:31.06] And we sit and drink our coffee
[00:37.00] Couched in our indifference
[00:39.50] Like shells upon the shore
[00:41.88] You can hear the ocean roar
[00:46.00] In the dangling conversation
[00:47.13] And the superficial sighs
[00:50.50]
[00:53.97] The borders of our lives
[01:00.22] And you read your Emily Dickinson
[01:04.29] And I my Robert Frost
[01:08.22] And we note our place with bookmarkers
[01:12.16] That measure what we've lost
[01:16.97] Like a poem poorly written
[01:22.28] We are verses out of rhythm
[01:25.60] Couplets out of rhyme
[01:28.04] In syncopated time
[01:31.53] And the dangling conversation
[01:32.66] And the superficial sighs
[01:39.78] Are the borders of our lives
[01:46.34] Yes, we speak of things that matter
[01:50.47] With words that must be said
[01:55.40] "Can analysis be worthwhile?"
[01:58.53] "Is the theater really dead?"
[02:02.34] And how the room is softly faded
[02:08.28] And I only kiss your shadow
[02:13.78] I cannot feel your hand
[02:15.10] You're a stranger now unto me
[02:17.39] Lost in the dangling conversation
[02:18.96]
[02:19.88] And the superficial sighs
[02:25.75] In the borders of our lives
[00:14.50] It' s a still life water color
[00:18.38] Of a now late afternoon
[00:22.25] As the sun shines through the curtain lace
[00:26.19] And shadows wash the room
[00:31.06] And we sit and drink our coffee
[00:37.00] Couched in our indifference
[00:39.50] Like shells upon the shore
[00:41.88] You can hear the ocean roar
[00:46.00] In the dangling conversation
