Em D
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Em
Ive come to talk with you again,
C G
Because a vision soft creeping,
Em C G
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
C C/G G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Em
Still remains
D Em
Within the sound of silence.
Em D
In restless dreams I walked alone
Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
Em C G
Neath the halo of a street lamp,
Em C G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
G
light
Em
That split the night
D Em
And touched the sound of silence.
Em D
And in the naked light I saw
Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
Em C G
People talking without speaking,
Em C G
People hearing without listening,
C G
People writing songs that voices never share
Em
And no one dare
D Em
Disturb the sound of silence.
Em D
Fools said i, you do not know
Em
Silence like a cancer grows.
Em C G
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Em C G
Take my arms that I might reach you.
C G
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
Em
And echoed
D Em
In the wells of silence
Em D
And the people bowed and prayed
Em
To the neon God they made.
Em C G
And the sign flashed out its warning,
Em C G
In the words that it was forming.
Em C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
C G
Are written on the subway walls
Em
And tenement halls.
D Em
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
