[Sacred Gregorian Chanting Male Choir] [Steel-stringed spanish guitar][soulful soft orchestral music] [female mournful faintly singing]oh my soul to keep [female humming in background] [Verse 1] [My Voice-Vocal][female backing] Room's quiet Dust on the sill Cold air One hum from the hall It sits in my chest, love's over [Chorus][Female/Male harmony's] The sound of Silence it leaves me gasping here, can't get a breath Love's over Love's over, and it won't come back [repeat chorus] [Verse 2] Like a black widow in the corner, she spun her line one loop around my wrist, then the next, she pulled it tight Cold legs on the rafters, waiting for me to slow breathe in, drift under, into the hush she keeps [Chorus] The sound of Silence it leaves me gasping here, can't get a breath Love's over Love's over, and it won't come back [instrumental-soulful music] [repeat chorus] [Verse 3] Now the room keeps all your shape but not the way you looked at me Your coffee ring still on the wood and my hand reaches out to air I keep hearing your key in the lock then remember you don't come home [chorus] [fading instrumental the end of song with female/male harmony's]
