AmHello darkness, my old Gfriend
I've come to talk with you Amagain
Because a vision softlFy creepCing
Left its seeds while I Fwas sleeCping
And the Fvision that was planted in my Cbrain
Still remAmains
Within the Gsound of Amsilence
AmIn restless dreams I walked aGlone
Narrow streets of cobbleAmstone
'Neath the halo of Fa street Clamp
I turned my collar to the Fcold and Cdamp
When my Feyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon lCight
That split the Amnight
And touched the Gsound of Amsilence
AmAnd in the naked light I Gsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe Ammore
People talking withFout speaCking
People hearing withFout listeCning
People writing Fsongs that voices never Cshare
And no one Amdared
Disturb the Gsound of Amsilence
Am"Fools", said I, "You do not Gknow
Silence like a cancer Amgrows
Hear my words that I Fmight teach Cyou
Take my arms that I Fmight reach Cyou"
But my Fwords, like silent raindrops Cfell
And echAmoed
In the Gwells of Amsilence
AmAnd the people bowed and Gprayed
To the neon god they Ammade
And the sign flashed out Fits warCning
In the words that it Fwas forCming
And the sign said, "The Fwords of the prophets are written on the subway Cwalls
And tenement halls"Am
And whCispered in the Gsounds of Amsilence
