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 I [B] was sleeping.
[F#]
And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still remains.
[D#m] Within [C#] the sound of [A#] silence, [D#m] in restless dreams I [C#] walked alone.
Narrow streets [D#m] of cobblestone, beneath the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp.
I turned my collar to [B] the cold and damp, when [B] my eyes were spared by the flash of a [F#] neon light.
I split the night, [D#m] [F#] and [C#] touched the sound,
[D#m] and in the naked light I saw,
ten thousand people, [D#] maybe more.
People [B] talking without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without listening,
[F#]
people writing songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#m] disturbed [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
Those that I [C#] do not know, silence like [D#] a cancer grows.
[D#m]
Hear my [B] words that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that [B] I might reach you.
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
[D#m] [F#] and [C#] echoed the will [D#m] of silence.
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made.
And the sun [B] flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words [B] that it was [F#] forming.
And the [D#m] sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls.
Tenement halls, [D#m] [F#] whispered in [C#] the sound of [F] silence.
[D#m]
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while I [B] was sleeping.
[F#]
And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still remains.
[D#m] Within [C#] the sound of [A#] silence, [D#m] in restless dreams I [C#] walked alone.
