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