In restless dreams I walked a
narrow streets of cobble
‘neath the halo of
I turned my collar to the
when my

And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand people maybe more
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never share
noone dare, disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I you do not know,
silence like a cancer grows,
hear my words that I might teach you
take my arms that I might reach you
but my words, like silent raindrops fell…
and echoed the will of silence
And the people bowed and prayed,
to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
in the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls
and whisper the sounds of silence.”

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,

“Fools” said I,”You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.”
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, The words of the prophets

And tenement halls.
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.
