Hel-lo dark-ness, my old friend
3 3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4
7 7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8
I’ve come to talk with you a-gain
4 4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
Be-cause a vis-ion soft-ly creep-ing
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
Left its seeds while I was sleep-ing
4 4 -7 -7 -7 -8 8 8 -8 -7 7
8 8 -11 -11 -11 -12 12 12-12 -11 11
And the vis-ion that was plant-ed in my brain
-7 7 6
-11 11 10
Still re-mains
4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3
8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7
With-in the sound of sil-ence
-3 -3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5
-7 -7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9
In rest-less dreams I walked a-lone
3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4
7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8
Nar-row streets of cob-ble-stone
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
‘Neath the ha-lo of a street lamp
4 4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 -7 7
8 8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 -11 11
I turned my col-lar to the cold and damp
4 4 -7 -7 -7
8 8 -11 -11 -11
When my eyes were stabbed
-7 -8 8 8 8 -8 -7 7
-11-12 12 1212 -12-11 11
by the flash of a ne-on light
7 -7 7 6
11 -11 11 10
That split the night
4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3
8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7
And touched the sound of sil-ence
-3 -3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5
-7 -7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9
And in the nak-ed light I saw
3 3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4
7 7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8
Ten thous-and peo-ple, may-be more
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
Peo-ple talk-ing with-out speak-ing
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 -11 11
Peo-ple hear-ing with-out lis-ten-ing
4 4 -7 -7 -7 -8
8 8 -11 -11 -11 -12
Peo-ple writ-ing songs that
8 8 -8 -7 7
12 12 -12-11 11
Voic-es nev-er share
7 -7 7 6
11 -11 11 10
And no one dared
4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3
8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7
Dis-turb the sound of sil-ence
-3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5
-7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9
“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4
7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8
Sil-ence like a can-cer grows
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
Hear my words that I might teach you
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
Take my arms that I might reach you”
4 4 -7 -8 8 8 -8 -7 7
8 8 -11 -12 12 12 -12 -11 11
But my words, like sil-ent rain-drops fell
-4 4 4 4 4 7 -5 6 -3
-8 8 8 8 8 11 -9 10 -7
And ech-oed in the wells of sil-ence
-3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5
-7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9
And the peo-ple bowed and prayed
3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4
7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8
To the ne-on god they made
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
And the sign flashed out its warn-ing
4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7
8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11
In the words that it was form-ing
4 4 6 7
8 8 10 11
And the sign said,
7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7
11 -11 -11 -11 -11 -11
“The words of the proph-ets
-8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 7
-12 12 12 12 12 -12 -11 11
are writ-ten on the sub-way walls
7 -7 -7 7 6
11 -11-11 11 10
And ten-e-ment halls”
-4 4 4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3
-8 8 8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7
And whis-pered in the sounds of sil-ence
