     silence ----- 
 
                             C 
In restless dreams I walked alone, 
                        F 
narrow streets of cobblestone 
                   Bb      Csus 
'neath the halo of a streetlamp 
                          Bb       Csus 
I turned my collar to the cold and damp 
        Bb                                       Csus 
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 
           F                          C         F 
split the night...   and touched the sound of silence 
 
And in the naked light I saw 
ten thousand people maybe more 
people talking without speaking 
people hearing without listening 
people writing songs that voices never share 
noone dare, disturb the sound of silence 
 
Fools said I you do not know, 
silence like a cancer grows, 
hear my words that I might teach you 
take my arms that I might reach you 
but my words, like silent raindrops fell... 
and echoed the will of silence 
 
And the people bowed and prayed, 
to the neon god they made 
And the sign flashed out its warning 
in the words that it was forming 
And the sign said, 'The words of the prophets 
are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls 
and whisper the sounds of silence.'
