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 dared |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Disturb the sound of silence |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
"Fools," said I, "You do not know |
![]() ![]() |
Silence like a cancer grows |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Hear my words 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 |
Bridge: |
B B Ebm Ebm x2 |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
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 |

Ending: |
