LYRIC

-1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3

Hello darkness, my old friend

1 1 1 2 2 3 3 -2

I’ve come to talk with you again

-2 -2 -2 -3 -3 3 3 -5 4

Because a vision softly creeping

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

-2 -2 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 5

And the vision that was planted in my brain

-5 4 -3

Still remains

-2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1

Within the sound of silence


-1 -1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3

In restless dreams I walked alone

1 1 2 2 3 3 -2

Narrow streets of cobblestone

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4

‘Neath the halo- of a street lamp

-2 -2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 -5 4

I turn my collar to the cold and damp

-2 -2 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5

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

5 -5 4 -3

That split the night

-2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1

And touched the sound of silence


-1 -1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3

And in the naked light I saw

1 1 1 2 2 3 3 -2

Ten thousand people maybe more

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4

People talking without speaking

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 -5 4

People hearing without listening

-2 -2 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 5

People writing songs that voices never shared

5 -5 4 -3

and no one dared

-2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1

Disturb the sound of silence


-1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3

“Fools,” said I, “you do not know

1 1 2 2 3 3 -2

Silence like a cancer grows

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4

Hear my words that I might teach you

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4

Take my arms that I might reach you”

-2 -2 -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 4

But my words like silent raindrops fell

2 -2 -2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1

And echoed in the wells of silence


-1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3

And the people bowed and prayed

1 1 2 2 3 3 -2

To the neon god they made

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4

And the sign flashed out its warning

-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4

In the words that it was forming

-2 -2 -3 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5

And the sign said “The words of the prophets

6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5

are written on the subway walls

5 -5 -5 4 -3

And tenement halls

2 -2 -2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1

And whispered in the sound of silence
