D#m C#
Hello darkness, my old friend,
D#m
I`ve come to talk to you again,
B F#
because a vision softly is creeping,
D#m B F#
left its seeds while I was sleeping,
B F# D#m
and the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains,
C# D#m
within the sound of silence.
D#m C#
In restless dreams I walked alone,
D#m
narrow streets of cobble-stone
B F#
Neath the halo of a street lamp,
D#m B F#
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
B F#
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
D#m C# D#m
that split the night and touched the sound of silence.
D#m C#
And in the naked light I saw,
D#m
ten thousand people, maybe more,
B F#
people talking without speaking,
D#m B F#
people hearing without listening,
B F#
people writing songs that voices never share,
D#m C# D#m
and no-one dare disturb the sound of silence.
D#m C#
Fools, said I, you do not know,
D#m
silence like a cancer grows,
B F#
hear my words, that I might teach you,
D#m B F#
take my arms that I might reach you,
B F# D#m
But my words like silent raindrops fell
C# D#m
and echoed in the wells of silence.
D#m C#
And the people bowed and prayed
D#m
to the neon god they`d made.
B F#
And the sign flashed out its warning,
D#m B F#
in the words that it was forming.
B
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written
F# D#m
in the subway walls, and tenement halls,
C# D#m
and whispered in the sound - of silence.
