...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 And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence

When the music’s over... Turn out the light.

Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
