still... ...sound of silence
Am G
In restless dreams I walked alone
Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
F C
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
C G4/B Am G4/B C
That split the night
C G Am
And touched the sound of silence
Am G
And in the naked light I saw
Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more
F C
People talking without speaking
F C
People hearing without listening
F C
People writing songs that voices never share
C G4/B Am G4/B C
And no one dared
C G Am
Disturb the sound of silence
Am G
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Am
Silence like a cancer grows
F C
Hear my words that I might teach you,
F C
Take my arms that I might reach you"
F C
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Am C G Am
And echoed in the wells of silence
Am G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon god they made
F C
And the sign flashed out its warning
F C
In the words that it was forming
F C
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
C G4/B Am G4/B
And tenement halls"
C G Am
And whispered in the sounds of silence
