Ive come to talk with you again,

Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
, J, \2 I/ [, A$ A' _7 w! Fneath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

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.
