Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Through the city streets of steel and stone
I walk alone, I walk alone
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
And in the sound of silence
I hear the chords that bind us tight
Nothing else matters, not the distance
Just the echo of your light
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
And the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words and all this silence
They remind me why I stay
And in the sound of silence
I hear the chords that bind us tight
Nothing else matters, not the distance
Just the echo of your light
Hello darkness, nothing else matters
Forever trusting, forever after
The sound of silence carries on
And the heart beats on, it beats on
