aHello darkness, my old Gfriend
I've come to talk with you aagain
Because a vision softlFy creepCing
Left its seeds while I Fwas sleeCping
And the Fvision that was planted in my Cbrain
Still remaains
Within the Gsound of asilence
aIn restless dreams I walked aGlone
Narrow streets of cobbleastone
'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 anight
And touched the Gsound of asilence
aAnd in the naked light I Gsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe amore
People talking withFout speaCking
People hearing withFout listeCning
People writing Fsongs that voices never Cshare
And no one adared
Disturb the Gsound of asilence
a"Fools", said I, "You do not Gknow
Silence like a cancer agrows
Hear my words that I Fmight teach Cyou
Take my arms that I Fmight reach Cyou"
But my Fwords, like silent raindrops Cfell
And echaoed
In the Gwells of asilence
aAnd the people bowed and Gprayed
To the neon god they amade
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"a
And whCispered in the Gsounds of asilence
