-4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6

Hello darkness my old friend

4 4 4 5 5 6 6 -5

I’ve come to talk with you again

-5 -5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

Because a vision softly creeping

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 8 -9 -9 8 -8 7

And the vision that was planted in my brain

-8 7 -6

Still remains

-5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4

Within the sound of silence


-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6

In restless dreams I walked alone

4 4 5 5 6 6 -5

Narrow streets of cobblestone

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

‘Neath the halo of a street lamp

-5 -5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 -8 7

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 -8 8 -9 -9 -9 8 -8 7

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

7 -8 7 -6

That split the night

-5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4

And touched the sound of silence


-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6

And in the naked light I saw

4 4 4 5 5 6 6 -5

Ten thousand people maybe more

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

People talking without speaking

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 -8 7

People hearing without listening

-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 8 -9 -9 8 -8 7

People writing songs that voices never share

7 -8 7 -6

And no one dare

-5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4

Disturb the sound of silence


-4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6

“Fools” said I “You do not know

4 4 5 5 6 6 -5

Silence like a cancer grow

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

Hear my words that I might teach you

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

Take my arms that I might reach you”

-5 -5 -8 8 -9 -9 8 -8 7

But my words like silent raindrops fell

5 -5 -5

And echoed

-5 -5 7 5 -5 -4

In the wells of silence


-4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6

And the people bowed and prayed

4 4 5 5 6 6 -5

To the neon god they made

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

And the sign flashed out its warning

-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7

In the words that it was forming

-5 -5 -6 7 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8

And the sign said “The words of the prophets

8 -9 -9 -9 -9 8 -8 7

are written on the subway walls

7 -8 -8 7 -6

And tenement halls

5 -5 -5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4

And whisper’d in the sounds of silence
