[00:02.0]Sung By "Paul Simon" [00:03.0] [00:04.0]Hello darkness my old friend. [00:08.0]I've come to talk with you again. [00:13.0]Because a vision softly creeping [00:18.0]Left its seeds while I was sleeping. [00:22.0]And the vision that was planted in my brain [00:29.0]Still remains within the sound of silence [00:38.0]In restless dreams I walk alone [00:43.0]Narrow streets of cobble stone [00:47.0]Neath the hallo of a street lamp, [00:52.0]I turned my collar to the cold and damp [00:56.0]When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light [01:03.0]That split the night [01:06.0]And touched the sound of silence [01:12.0]And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more [01:21.0]People talking without speaking Peopel hearing without listening [01:30.0]People writing songs that voices never share [01:38.0]And no one dare disturb the sound of silence [01:47.0]"Fool" said I "you do not know [01:51.0]Silence like a cancer grows [01:56.0]Hear my words that I might teach you [02:00.0]Take my arms that I might reach you [02:05.0]But my words like silent rain-drops fell [02:14.0]And echo-ed in the wells of silence [02:21.0]And the people bow and prayed [02:26.0]to the neon God they made [02:30.0]And the sign flash out its warning [02:34.0]In the words that it was forming [02:39.0]And the signs said "The words of the prophets are [02:43.0]written on the subway walls and tenement halls" [02:49.0]And whispered in the sounds of silence [02:58.0]
