[Am]Hello darkness, my old [G]friend
|
|
I've come to talk with you a[Am]gain
|
|
Because a vi[C]sion sof[F]tly cree[C]ping
|
|
Left its seeds while I [F]was slee[C]ping
|
|
And the [F]vision that was planted in my [C]brain
|
|
Still re[Am]mains
|
|
Wi[C]thin the [G]sound of [Am]silence
|
|
|
|
|
|
In restless dreams I walked alone
|
|
Narrow streets of cobblestone
|
|
Neath the halo of a street lamp
|
|
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
|
|
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
|
|
That split the night
|
|
And touched the sound of silence
|
|
|
|
|
|
And in the naked light I saw
|
|
Ten thousand people, maybe more
|
|
People talking without speaking
|
|
People hearing without listening
|
|
People writing songs that voices never share
|
|
And no one dared
|
|
Disturb the sound of silence
|
|
|
|
|
|
``Fools'' said I, ``You don't know
|
|
Silence's like a cancer grows
|
|
Hear my words and I might teach you
|
|
Take my arms and I might reach you''
|
|
But my words like silence raindrops fell
|
|
...
|
|
And echoed in the wells of silence
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the people bowed and prayed
|
|
To the neon god they made
|
|
And the sign flashed out its warning
|
|
In the words that it was forming
|
|
And the sign said, ``The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
|
|
And tenement halls''
|
|
And whispered in the sound of silence
|
|
|
