[Cm] Claude will leave you with a quote, in fact a lyric from Paul Simon.
Why am I so [C] soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard?
[F] To take [C] us out tonight, Emma and Husky are performing a smash [G] hit from [Gm] 1966,
once called the quintessential folk rock release.
Farewell my friend.
[G]
[C] [G]
Hello darkness my [F] old friend, I've come to talk with [Gm] you again.
Because a vision softly [Eb] [Bb] creeping, left its seeds while [Eb] I was [Bb] sleeping.
And [Eb] the vision that was planted in [Gm] my brain, [Bb] still remains.
[Gm]
[Bb] Within [F] the sound [Gm] of silence, in restless dreams I [F] walk alone.
Narrow streets [Gm] of cobblestone, beneath the halo [Eb] of a [Bb] street lamp.
Turn my collar to [Eb] the cold [Bb] and damp, [Eb] when my eyes were staring
by the flash of a [Bb] neon light that split the night.
[Gm] [Bb]
And touch [F] the sound [Gm] of silence, and in the naked light [F] I saw
ten thousand people, [Gm] maybe more.
People talking [Eb] without [Bb] speaking, people hearing [Eb]
without [Bb] listening,
people writing [Eb] songs their voices never [Bb] shared.
And no one dared [Gm]
[Bb] disturb [F] the sound [Gm] of silence.
I still said I'd eat [F] you now, silence like [Gm] a cancer rose.
Through my words that I [Eb] might [Bb] teach you, through my arms that [Eb] I might [Bb] reach you.
[Eb] But my words like silence [Bb] felt [Gm] [Bb] an echo [F] in the walls [Gm] of silence.
The people [F] bowed and pleaded, to the neon [Gm] god they made.
A sign [Eb] flashed out this [Bb] morning, in the house [Eb] that is where I'm [Bb] stalling.
And the signs [Eb] of the warmth of the prophets are written on the subway [Bb]
walls.
In tenement [Gm] halls,
[Bb] whispering in [F] the sounds [Gm] of silence.
