The Sound of Silence
~@
The Sound of Silence
by Simon & Garfunkel
=======================================
(1 bar intro)
^Hel-lo dark-ness my old friend...
I've come to talk with you a-gain,
Be-cause a vis-ion soft-ly creep-ing...
Left it's seeds while I was sleep-ing,
And the vis-ion...
that was plant-ed in my brain
Still re-mains...
With-in the sound... of si-lence.
~
In rest-less dreams I walked a-lone
nar-row streets of cob-ble stone,
'Neath the ha-lo of a street lamp
I turned my col-lar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a ne-on light
That split the night...
And touched the Sound...
of Si-lence............
~
And in the nak-ed light I saw
Ten thou-sand peo-ple may-be more
Peo-ple talk-ing with-out speak-ing
Peo-ple hear-ing with-out list-'ning
Peo-ple writ-ing songs...
that voic-es nev-er share
And no one dare
Dis-turb the Sound... of Si-lence
~
"Fools!" said I, "You do not know...
Si-lence like a can-cer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,"
Take my arms that I might reach you..."
But my words...
like si-lent rain-drops fell,
And ech-oed....
in the wells...
of si-lence.
~
And the peo-ple bowed and prayed
to the ne-on god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warn-ing.
In the words that it was form-ing,
And the sign said:
"The words of the pro-phets are
writ-ten on the sub-way walls...
and ten-e-ment halls."
And whis-per'd.......
in the Sounds.....
of Silence.......................
