Dangling conversation

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 shoreY
ou 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
And 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


The dangling conversation
Simon & Garfunkel

Still I'm sad

(....)
For myself my tears just fall into dust,
Day will dry them, night will find they are lost.
Now I find the wind is blowing time into my heart,
Let the rain fall, for we are apart.
Still I'm sad,Still I'm sad


Still I'm sad
The Yardbirds

My heart cries for you

(...)
An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you,
dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
(...)


My heart cries for you
Guy Mitchell

Esperança....

No tears, no fears,
remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part,
we'll be together again

Your kiss, your smile, are memories
I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart,
we'll be together again

Times when I know you'll be lonesome,
times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you,
don't let the blues make you bad

Someday, someway,
we both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not good-bye,
we'll be together again


We'll be together again
Frankie Laine
1947

Mr. Lonely

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody for my own.
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
wish I had someone to call on the phone.

I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home
through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely,
I'm Mr. Lonely,I wish that I could go back home.

Letters, never a letter,
I get no letters in the mail.
I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,
Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.


Mr. Lonely
Bobby Vinton

Always something there to remind me

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me,
(...)


Always something there to remind me
