.. still remains .. .. the sound .. .. of silence Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence 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 "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 sign said The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence

And the leaves that are green, turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl I held her close but she faded in the night Like a poem I meant to write And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand I threw a pebble in a brook And watched the ripples run away And they never made a sound And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand Hello, hello, hello, hello Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye That's all there is And the leaves that are green turn to brown

Tapping on my roof and walls And from the shelter of my mind Through the window of my eyes I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets To England where my heart lies My mind's distracted and diffused My thoughts are many miles away They lie with you when you're asleep And kiss you when you start your day And a song I was writing is left undone I don't know why I spend my time Writing songs I can't believe With words that tear and strain to rhyme And so you see I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you And as I watch the drops of rain Weave their weary paths and die I know that I am like the rain There but for the grace of you go I

He had everything a man could want: power, grace and style

Oh I wish that I could be Richard Cory The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show And the rumours of his parties and the orgies on his yacht Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got But I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living and I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be Oh I wish that I could be Richard Cory He freely gave to charities, he had the common touch And they were grateful for his patronage, and they thanked him very much So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head But I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living and I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be, oh I wish that I could be Oh I wish that I could be Richard Cory

A Most Peculiar Man

D
He was a most peculiar man
Em
That's what Mrs Reardon said and she should know
A
D
She lived upstairs from him
G
A
D
She said he was a most peculiar man He was a most peculiar man He lived all alone within a house Within a room, within himself A most peculiar man He had no friends he seldom spoke And no one in turn ever spoke to him 'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care And he wasn't like them Oh, no! He was a most peculiar man He died last Saturday He turned on the gas and he went to sleep With the windows closed so he'd never wake up To his silent world and his tiny room And Mrs Reardon says he has a brother somewhere Who should be notified soon And all the people said, "What a shame that he's dead But, wasn't he a most peculiar man?"
