[Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Gm] [F]
[Eb]
[Bb]
[Gm] [Bb] [Gm]
It's a still life [F] watercolor of [Eb] a now [Bb] late [F] afternoon
As [Eb] the sun [Gm] shines through [Cm] the curtain lace [Bb] and shadows [Gm] wash the room
[Bb]
[Gm] And we sit and drink our [Eb] [Gm] coffee
Couched [Ab]
in our indifference [G] like shells upon the shore
[F] You can hear the ocean roar
In [Ebm] the dangling [Gm] [F]
conversation and [Bb] the [F] superficial [Eb] sighs
The borders of [Bb] our lives
And [Eb] you read [Bb] your [F] Emily Dickinson
[Bb] And I my [F] Robert Frost
And [Eb] we [Bb] note our [Cm] place with bookmarkers
[Bb] That measure what we've lost
[Gm]
Like a poem poorly [Eb]
written
[Gm] We
[Ab] are verses out of rhythm
[G] Couplets out of rhyme
[F] In [Bb] syncopated time
And [Eb] the [Bb] dangling [F] conversation
And [Bb] the superficial [Eb]
sighs
Are the [Bb] borders of our lives
Yes [Eb] we speak of things [Bb] that [F] matter
With [Eb]
words that must be [F] said
Can [Bb] analysis be [Cm]
worthwhile
Is [Bb] the theater really dead
And how [Gm] the room has softly [Eb] faded
[Gm] And [Ab] I only kiss your shadow
[G] I cannot feel your hand
[F] You're a stranger now unto me
Lost [Eb] in the [Gm] dangling [F] conversation
And [Gm] the
[F] superficial [Eb] sighs
In the [Bb] borders of our lives
[Gm] [Bb] [Gm] [Bb]
