 HeAllo Amdarkness, Gmy old friend
GI've come to talk Amwith you again
AmBecauseC a vision soFftly Ccreeping
CLeft its seeds whileF I was slCeeping
CAnd the Fvision that was planted in my bCrain
CStill remainsAm
AmWithiCn tGhe sound Amof silenEce
EIn Amrestless dreams,G I walked alone
GNarrow streets ofAm cobblestone
Am'Neath the hCalo ofF a strCeetlamp
CI turned my collar to tFhe cold aCnd damp
CWhen my eyeFs were stabbed by the flash of a neoCn light
CThat split the nighAmt
AmAnd toCuchedG the sound Amof silAenceAm
AmAnd in the naked Glight, I saw
GTen thousand peoAmple, maybe more
AmPeopleC talkingF withouCt speaking
CPeople hearing wiFthout liCstening
CPeople writing Fsongs that voices never shCared
CNo one dared
 DCisturb Gthe sound Amof silence
Am"Fools", said I, G"You do not know
GSilence like aAm cancer grows
AmHear my wordCs that FI might tCeach you
CTake my arms that I Fmight reCach you"
CBut mFy words like silentC raindrops felAml
AmAnd Cechoed inG the wellsAm of silence
AmAnd the peopGle bowed and prayed
GTo the neon gAmod they made
AmAnd the sign flFashed out itsC warning
CIn the words thatF it waCs forming
CAnd the sign said, "TheF words of the prophets are written on the subCway walls
CIn tenement halAmls"
AmAndC whispered in the Gsounds of silence
