THE SOUND OF SILENCE |

Lam Sol Hello darkness my old friend, Lam I've come to talk with you again. Do Fa Do Because a vision softly creeping Fa Do Left it's seed while I was sleeping, Fa Do And the vision that was planted in my brain Lam still remains Do Sol Lam Within the sounds of silence.
Lam Sol In restless dreams I walked alone, Lam Narrow streets of cobble stone. Do Fa Do 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, Fa Do I turned my collar to the cold and damp, Fa Do When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light Lam Do Sol Lam That split the night and touched the sounds of silence
Lam Sol And in the naked light I saw Lam Ten thousand people, maybe more. Do Fa Do People talking without speaking, Fa Do People hearing without listening, Fa Do People writing songs that voices never shared, Lam Do Sol Lam And no one dared Disturb the sounds of silence.
Lam Sol "Fools!" said I, "you do not know, Lam Silence like a cancer grows. Do Fa Do Hear my words that I might teach you, Fa Do Take my arms that I might reach you." Fa Do But my words like silent raindrops fell... Lam Do Sol Lam And echoed in the wells of silence.
Lam Sol And the people bowed and prayed Lam To the neon gods they made. Do Fa Do And the sign flashed out its warning, Fa Do In the words that it was forming, Fa Do And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls Lam And tenement halls." Do Sol Lam And whispered in the sounds of silence |
