[A#] Hello [C#] darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with [D#m] you again
Because a vision softly [F#] creeping
Left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain
still [D#m] remains
[C#] within the sound
[A#] Of silence [D#m] in restless [C#] dreams.
I walk alone
Narrow streets [D#m] of cobblestone
Leave the halo of a [F#] street lamp.
I turn my collar [B] to the cold and [F#] damp
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light
The smith and [D#m] I
[F#] [C#] And touch the sound
[D#m] Silent and in the naked [C#] light I saw
10,000 [D#] people maybe more
[D#m]
People talking without [F#] speaking
People hearing [B] without listening
[F#] People writing [B] songs that voices never share
No one there
[D#] [C#] The spirit of a sound
[D#m] Of silence
Fools that I [C#] do not know
Silence like [D#] a cancer grows
[D#m] Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you
Take my [B] arms that I might [F#] reach you
[B] But my words
Like silent [F#] raindrops fell
[D#m] [F#] the echoes
[C#]
[D#m] Of silence and the people bowed and [C#] prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sun blashed [B] out its [F#] warning
In the [B] words that it [F#] was forming
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#]
walls
[D#m] [F#] Whisper
[D#m] Of silence
