In restless dr

              
eams I walked 

  
alone
              
Narrow streets

            
 of cobbleston

e
              
'Neath the hal

             
o of a street 

 
lamp
              
I turned my co

             
llar to the co

        
ld and damp
             
When my eyes w

              
ere stabbed by

              
 the flash of 

        
a neon light
              
That split the

         
 night
             
And touched th

           
e sound of sil

ence

            
And in the nak

            
ed light I saw
              
Ten thousand p

             
eople, maybe m


ore
              
People talking

             
 without speak


ing
              
People hearing

             
 without liste

 
ning
              
People writing

             
 songs that vo

             
ices never sha

re
             
And no one dar

     
ed
            
Disturb the so

        
und of silence

            
"Fools", said 

              
I, "You do not

  
 know
              
Silence like a

          
 cancer grows
              
Hear my words 

             
that I might t

      
each you,
              
Take my arms t

             
hat I might re

     
ach you"
             
But my words l

              
ike silent rai

        
ndrops fell
           
    And echoed

             
 in the wells 

      
of silence

            
And the people

             
 bowed and pra

yed
              
To the neon go

       
d they made
              
And the sign f

             
lashed out its

     
 warning
              
In the words t

             
hat it was for

 
ming
              
And the sign s

             
aid "The words

              
 of the prophe

              
ts are written

              
 on the subway

  
 walls
              
And tenement h

      
alls"
             
And whispered 

             
in the sounds 

    
of silence
