[Intro]
Am Hello darkness, my old Gfriend,
[Verse 1]
I've come to talk with you aAmgain,
Because a vision softlyF creeping, C
Left its seeds while I wasF sleeping, C
And the Fvision that was planted in my brain C
Still remains C/B Am C
Within the Gsound of Amsilence
In restless dreams I walked aGlone
[Verse 2]
Narrow streets of cobbleAmstone,
`Neath the halo of aF street lamp, C
I turned my collar to the Fcold and damp C
When my Feyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light C
That split the night C/B Am C
And touched the Gsound of Amsilence
And in the naked light I Gsaw
[Verse 3]
Ten thousand people, maybe Ammore.
People talking withoutF speaking, C
People hearing withoutF listening, C
People writing Fsongs that voices never share C
And no one dared C/B Am C
Disturb the Gsound of Amsilence
"Fools" said I, "You do not Gknow
[Verse 4]
Silence like a cancer Amgrows.
Hear my words that I mightF teach you, C
Take my arms that I mightF reach you." C
But my Fwords like silent raindrops Cfell,
C/B Am And Cechoed
In the Gwells of Amsilence
And the people bowed and Gprayed
[Verse 5]
To the neon god they Ammade.
And the sign flashed out itsF warning, C
C In the words that it wasF forming. C
And the sign said
FThe words of the prophets
Are written on the subway Cwalls
And tenementC/B Amhalls. C
Whispered Gsound of Amsilence
