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