[Am]
In the darkness my [G] old friend, I've come to talk with you [Am]
again.
Because the visions on [F] me [C] keeping,
Felt the seeds while [F] I was [C] sleeping.
[F] And the vision that was planted in [C] my brain,
[Am] Still remains [C] within
[G] the sound [Am] of silence.
In distant streams I [G] walked alone,
Eroding streets of [Am] cobblestone.
Heed the [Em] halo [F] of ancient [C] streetlamp,
I turned my color [F] to the [C] cold and damp.
When [F] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [C] light,
Split the night [Am] [C] and [G] turned to sound [Am] of silence.
And in the naked [G] light I saw,
Ten thousand people maybe [Am]
more.
People talking [F] without [C] speaking,
People [Em] hearing [F] without [C]
listening,
People [Em] writing [F]
songs that voices never [C] share.
But no one dared [Am] [C] disturb [G]
the sound [Am] of silence.
So say I, you [G] do not know,
Silence like a [Am] catharine rose.
Say my words that [F] I might [C] teach you,
Say my arms that [F] I might [C] lead you,
[F] But my words like silent [C] raindrops fell.
[Am] [C] Echo [G] the wells [Am] of silence,
And the people [G] bowed in three,
You and me, our [Am] God and me.
And the sign flashed [F] out [C] its torning,
And the words that [F] it was [C] for me.
And the [Em] sign [F] said the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [C] walls,
And ten men [Am] all [C]
[G] whispered the sound [Am] of silence.
Don't [G] forget [E] to [A] subscribe.
