[am] Hello darkness, my old [G]friend, I've come to talk with you a[am]gain,
|
|
because a [C]vision soft[F]ly cree[C]ping, left its seeds while I [F]was slee[C]ping,
|
|
and the [F]vision that was planted in my [C]brain [em]still re[am]mains
|
|
[C] within the [G]sound of [am]silence.
|
|
|
|
[am] In restless dreams I walked a[G]lone narrow streets of cobble[am]stone,
|
|
'neath the [C]halo of [F]a street [C]lamp, I turned my collar to the [F]cold and [C]damp,
|
|
when my [F]eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [C]light that [em]split the [am]night
|
|
[C] and touched the [G]sound of [am]silence.
|
|
|
|
[am] And in the naked light I [G]saw ten thousand people, maybe [am]more.
|
|
People [C]talking with[F]out speak[C]ing, people hearing with[F]out listen[C]ing,
|
|
people writing [F]songs that voices never [C]share and [em]no one [am]dare
|
|
[C] disturb the [G]sound of [am]silence.
|
|
|
|
[am] 'Fools' said I, 'You do not [G]know silence like a cancer [am]grows.
|
|
Hear my [C]words that I [F]might teach [C]you, take my arms that I [F]might reach [C]you.'
|
|
But my [F]words like silent raindrops [C]fell,
|
|
[em]and [am]echoed in the [G]walls of [am]silence.
|
|
|
|
[am] And the people bowed and [G]prayed to the neon god they [am]made.
|
|
And the [C]sign flashed out [F]its warn[C]ing, in the words that it [F]was form[C]ing.
|
|
And the sign said, 'The [F]words of the prophets are written on the subway [C]walls
|
|
and [em]tenement [am]halls.'
|
|
And [C]whisper'd in the [G]sounds of [am]silence.
