AmHello darkness my old Gaddfriend, I’ve come to Gtalk with you aAmgain.
Because a Cvision softly-Fy creeCping, left its seed while I wa-Fas sleeCping.
And the Fvision, that was planted in my Cbrain, still reAmmains,
CWithin the Gsound of Amsilence.

Couplet
N.C.In 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.
Couplet
And in the naked light I Gsaw, ten-thousand people maybe Ammore.
People Ctalking wiFthout speaCking. People hearing wiFthout listeCning.
People writing Fsongs, that voices never Cshare. And no one Amdared,
CDisturb the Gsound, of Amsilence.
Couplet
"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.
Couplet
And the people bowed and Gprayed, to the neon god they Ammade.
And the Csign flashed out Fits warCning. In the words that it wa-Fas forCming.
And the signs said “The Fwords of the prophets are written on the subway Cwalls, and tenement Amhalls.”
And Cwhisper'd, in the Gsounds, of siAmlence.
Finale : b-c-a, b-c-a, b-
