Verse 1
DHello darkness my old Afriend
DI've come to talk with Ayou again
DBecause a vision softly Acreeping
DLeft its seeds while I was Asleeping
DAnd the vision that was Aplanted
DIn my brain still reAmains
DWithin the sound of Asilence
Verse 2
DIn restless dreams I walked aAlone
DNarrow streets of cobbleAstone
D'Neath the halo of a street Alamp
DI turned my collar to the Acold and damp
DWhen my eyes were stabbed by the Aflash
DOf a neon God above the Astreet
DShe whispered her magic Aname
DWithin the sound of Asilence
Chorus
GAnd in the naked Dlight I saw
GTen thousand people maybe Dmore
GPeople talking without Dspeaking
GPeople hearing without Dlistening
GPeople writing songs that Dvoices never share
GAnd no one dared disAturb the sound of silence
Verse 3
DFools said I, you do not Aknow
DSilence like a cancer Agrows
DHear my words that I might Ateach you
DTake my arms that I might Areach you
DBut my words like silent rainAdrops
DFell and echoed in the wells of Asilence
Chorus
GAnd the people bowed and Dprayed
GTo the neon God they Dmade
GAnd the sign flashed out its Dwarning
GIn the words that it was Dforming
GAnd the sign said the words of the Dprophets
GAre written on the subway Awalls
GAnd tenement Dhalls
GAnd whispered in the sounds of Asilence
