The Sound of Silence(Live at Central Park, New York, NY - August 15, 1991)
Hello darkness my old friend
- 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 with the sound of silence
- In restless dreams I walk alone
- Narrow streets of cobble stone
- Beneath the hallo of a street lamp
- I turned my collar to the cold and damp
- When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light
- That split the night
- And touched the sound of silence
- And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more
- People talking without speaking people hearing without listening
- People writing songs that voices never share
- And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
- "Fool" 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 out you
- But my words like silent raindrops fell
- And echoed in the wells of silence
- And the people bow and prayed
- To the neon God they made
- And the sign flash to its warning
- In the words that it was forming
- And sings "The words of the prophers are
- Written the subway walls and tenement halls"
- And whispered in the sounds of silence
