Capo 3
C G D G D C C G Em
C G D
It's a still life water color
C G D
Of a now late afternoon
C G Am
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
G Em
And shadows wash the room
G Em
And we sit and drink our coffee
F E
Cast in our indifference, like shells upon the shore
D
You can hear the ocean roar
C G D G D C
In the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs
G Em
The borders of our lives
C G D
And you read your Emily Dickenson
C G D
And I my Robert Frost
C G Am
And we note our place with bookmarkers
G Em
That measure what we've lost
G Em
Like a poem poorly written
F E
We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme
D
In syncopated time
C G D G D C
And the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
G Em
Are the borders of our lives
C G D
Yes we speak of things that matter
C G D
With words that must be said
C G Am
Can analysis be worthwhile
G Em
Is the theater really dead?
G Em
And how the room is softly faded
F E
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand
D
You're a stranger now unto me
C G D G D C
Lost in the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
G Em
In the borders of our lives
