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 its 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 cobblestone
- Beneath the hallo 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
- And no one dare
- 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 its 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 whisper'd
- In the sounds of silence
