[Am]Hello darkness my old [G]friend
[G]I've come to talk with you [Am]again
[Am]Because a [C]vision soft [F]ly [C]creeping
[C]Left his seeds while I [F]was [C]sleep ing
And the [F]vision that was planted in [C]my brain
Still re[Am]main within [C]the [G]sound of [Am]silence.
Verse 1:
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobbled stone
'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.
Verse 2:
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 dare disturb the sound of silence
Verse 3:
Fools said I you do not know
Silence like a cancer grow
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arm that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the well of silence
Verse 4:
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
