AmHello darkness my old Gaddfriend, I’ve come to Gtalk with you aAmgain.
Because a Cvision softly-Fy creepCing, left its seed while I wa-Fas sleepCing.
And the Fvision, that was planted in my Cbrain, still reAmmains,
CWithin the Gsound of Amsilence. Am | Am |
NCIn restless dreams I walked aGlone, narrow streets of cobble Amstone.
‘Neath the Chalo of a-Fa street Clamp, I turned my collar to the Fcold and Cdamp.
When my Feyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon Clight, that split the Amnight.
CAnd touched the Gsound of Amsilence.
And in the naked light I Gsaw, ten-thousand people maybe Ammore.
People Ctalking withFout speakCing. People hearing withFout listenCing.
People writing Fsongs, that voices never Cshare. And no one Amdared,
CDisturb the Gsound, of Amsilence.
"Fools" said I "you do not Gknow. Silence like a cancer Amgrows.
Hear my Cwords that I mi-Fight teach Cyou. Take my arms that I mi-Fight reach Cyou."
But my Fwords, like silent raindrops Cfell, Am and Cechoed, in the Gwells, of Amsilence.
And the people bowed and Gprayed, to the neon god they Ammade.
And the Csign flashed out Fits warnCing. In the words that it wa-Fas formCing.
And the signs said “The Fwords of the prophets are written on the subway Cwalls, and tenement Amhalls.”
And Cwhisper'd, in the | soGunds|, of | SiAmlence|. b - c - a , b - c - a , b - | Am |
