Hide Lyrics Hint
[D#] [A#] [F] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk with [D#m] you again.
.
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping.
.
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [A#m].
[D#m] remains [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#m] of [G#] silence.
[D#m] In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone, .
beneath the hill [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar to [B] the cold [F#] and damp.
.
[B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light,.
the swift and .
[D#m] night [F#] [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people and [D#m] maybe more.
.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening, .
people writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#m] [F#] [C#] this beautiful sound of [D#m] silence.
The cruel said I do [C#] not know, silence is like a [D#] cancer grow.
[D#m] .
Hear my words [B] that I might teach [F#] you, take my arms [B] that I might reach [F#] you.
But [B] my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [D#m] .
[F#] the echo [C#] of .
[D#m] silence.
.
[D#] And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made.
.
And the sign [B] flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words [B] that it was [F#] forming.
.
And the sign said [B] the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls.
And tenement [D#m] halls [F#] whispered [C#] in the sound [D#] of silence.
[A#m] [D#m] .
