Dangling Conversation Lyrics

This version that she does as a duet (with Joan Baez, I believe) is one of the most hauntingly beautiful renditions of this (or maybe any song) that I have ever heard.

...and it's all about the loss of intimacy between a couple who are basically just going through the motions. It looks lovely on the surface, but that's all there is to it. Classic Simon and Garfunkel.
