The Sound of Silence
Hello darkness my old friend
- Hello darkness my old friend
- I've come to talk with you again
- Because a vision softly creeping
- Left it's 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 cobble stone
- '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
- 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 it's 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
