Hello darkness, my old friend [C#] I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision [F#] softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the [B] vision that was planted in [F#] my brain Still remains [C#] within the sound [D#m] of silence
In restless dreams I walked [C#] alone Narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
Neath the halo of a [F#] hasty lamp I turned my collar to [B] the cold and [F#] damp
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#]
light
That split the [D#m] night And touched [C#] the sound [D#] of silence
[D#m] And in the naked [C#] light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe [D#m]
more
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking People hearing [B]
without listening
[F#] People writing [B]
songs that voices never [F#] share And no one [D#m]
dared [C#] disturb the sound of [D#m]
[D#] silence
Fool said, I, [C#] you do not know Silence like a [D#m] cancer grows
Hear my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you Take my arm that I [B] might reach out [F#] to you
But [B] my words like silent raindrops [F#]
fell And [D#m] [F#]
echoed in [C#] the wells [D#m] of silence
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed To the neon [D#m] god they made
And the sign flashed [B] out in his [F#] haunting That [B] it was [F#] for me
And the sign says [B] the words of the prophets Are written on the [F#] subway walls and tenement [D#m]
[F#] halls
And the [C#] sound of [D#]
silence
