It's empty on the streets by now The shops have all closed down And people packed and moved away Far from this scary town It's quiet from the bars and clubs The bands don't play no more Pain always follows joy The days go by and I endure And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude No lights in any windows There's no smoke from chimney pots And when the green light turns to red There's not a car that stops I still can here the schoolyard bell But there's no kids insight The sound of silence is what's left When ghosts come out at night And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude *** Sample *** And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude
