capo 2
[Verse 1]
EmHello darkness, my old Dfriend,
I've come to talk with you Emagain,
Because a vision softlyC creeGping,
Left its seeds while I wasC sleeGping,
And the Cvision that was planted in my Gbrain
Still reEmmains within the Dsound of Emsilence.
[Verse 2]
In restless dreams I walked Dalone
Narrow streets of cobbleEmstone,
'neath the halo of a Cstreet Glamp,
I turned my collar to the colCd and Gdamp
When my Ceyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon Glight
That split the Emnight and touched the Dsound of Emsilence.
[Verse 3]
And in the naked light I Dsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe Emmore.
People talking withoutC speaGking,
People hearing withoutC listGening,
People writing Csongs that voices never Gshare
And no one Emdare, disturb the Dsound of Emsilence.
[Verse 4]
Fools said I, you do not Dknow
Silence like a cancer Emgrows.
Hear my words that I might Cteach Gyou,
Take my arms that I mightC reach Gyou.
But my Cwords like silent raindrops Gfell,
And Emechoed in, in the Dwells of Emsilence
[Verse 5]
And the people bowed and Dprayed
To the neon God they Emmade.
And the sign flashed out it's CwarnGing,
In the words that it waCs forGming.
And the sign said, the Cwords of the prophets are written on the subway Gwalls
and tenement Emhalls. And whisper'd in the Dsounds of Emsilence.
