This Is So I Can Link From Twitter For Someone...

[said_scarlett]

Usually, when I'm struck by a song that reminds me of a pairing or a character or something, I just tweet a few particularly striking lyrics. With this one, since I couldn't pick just one or two lines, I figured I'd slap it up here and link from Twitter. So basically, that was a really long way of saying 'IGNORE ME!'.

Unless you're terribly interested in Simon and Garfunkle lyrics....



It's a still life water color,
Of a now late afternoon,
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room.
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference,
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
The borders of our lives.

And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
Are the borders of our lives.

Yes, we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation.
And the superficial sighs,
In the borders of our lives.
