[Verse 1]
F#mHello darkness, my Eold friend
I've come to talk with yoF#mu again
Because a vision sDoftly cAreeping
Left its seeF#mds while I Dwas sleAeping
F#mAnd the Dvision that was D5planted Din my Abrain
Still reF#mmains within the Esound of F#msilence
[Verse 2]
F#mIn restless dreams I walkedE alone
Narrow streets of F#mcobblestone
'Neath the halo of Da street Alamp
I turned my collF#mar to the Dcold and Adamp
When my Deyes were stabbed by the flD5ash of aD neon Alight
That F#msplit the nAight
F#mAnd touched the Esound of F#msilence
[Verse 3]
F#mAnd in the naked liEght I saw
Ten thousand people, maybF#me more
People talking witDhout speAaking
People hearing witDhout lisAtening
People writing Dsongs that D5voices Dnever Ashare
And no one F#mdare
Disturb the Esound of F#msilence
[Verse 4]
F#mFools said I, you do notE know
Silence like a cancer F#mgrows
Hear my words that I mDight teach Ayou
Take my arms that I mDight reach Ayou
But my Dwords like D5silent Draindrops Afell
AF#mnd echAoed in the wEells of F#msilence
[Verse 5]
F#mAnd the people bowed and Eprayed
To the neon God theF#my made
And the sign flashed Dout it'sA warning
And the words that itD was forAming
N.C.
And the sign said The wDords of the prophets are D5written on the Dsubway wAalls And tenement halF#mls And whispered in the Esound of siF#mlence
