Capo on 6 fret |
Intro: |
Hello darkness, my old friend |
I've come to talk with you again |
Because a vision softly creeping |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
And the vision that was planted |
In my brain |
Still remains |
Within the sound of 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 dare |
Disturb the sound of silence |
Fools said I, you do not know |
Silence like a cancer grows |
Hear my word that I might teach you |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
But my words like silent |
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 it 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 whisper'd in the sounds |
Of silence |
