The Sound of Silence

[Verse 1] One AM, bar closed down Took a shot of whiskey, it ain't helpin' now To shut my mind off, stop it from racin' I turn to what I've been chasin' [Chorus] The sound of silence I find it on the road at night drivin' In my bed when the storm is outside it It's like a choir singin' to my soul I've been prayin' that I'll find it In my head, so I can't deny it When I do, you know I'll invite it Into my heart and never let it go It's the sound of silence [Verse 2] 'Fore you know it, your life is half gone Still tryin' to figure out where you belong To shut my mind off, stop it from racin' I turn to what I've been chasin' [Chorus] The sound of silence I find it on the road at night drivin' In my bed when the storm is outside it It's like a choir singin' to my soul I've been prayin' that I'll find it In my head, so I can't deny it When I do, you know I'll invite it Into my heart and never let it go It's the sound of silence [Verse 3] Everywhere I go, everywhere I go It never seems to leave me alone Everywhere I go, everywhere I go I'm drownin' in this world [Chorus] And I need the sound of silence I find it on the road at night drivin' In my bed when the storm is outside it It's like a choir singin' to my soul I've been prayin' that I'll find it In my head, so I can't deny it When I do, you know I'll invite it Into my heart and never let it go It's the sound of silence
