| [00:03.490] | Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:07.970] | I've come 2 talk with U again. |
| [00:12.310] | Because a vision softly creeping. |
| [00:17.120] | Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:21.590] | And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:28.460] | Still remains. |
| [00:31.800] | Within the sound of silence |
| [00:37.500] | In restless dreams I walk alone. |
| [00:42.370] | Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
| [00:46.850] | 'Neath the halo of a street lamp. |
| [00:51.290] | I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp. |
| [00:56.010] | When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. |
| [01:02.780] | That split the night. |
| [01:06.820] | And touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:12.550] | And in the naked night I saw. |
| [01:17.000] | Ten thousand people maybe more. |
| [01:21.710] | People talking without speaking. |
| [01:26.160] | People hearing without listening. |
| [01:30.550] | People writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:38.390] | And no one dare. |
| [01:41.710] | Disturb the sound of silence. |
| [01:47.350] | "Fool" said I "U do not know." |
| [01:51.850] | "Silence like a cancer grows." |
| [01:56.740] | Hear my words that I might teach U." |
| [02:01.160] | "Take my arms that I might reach U." |
| [02:05.620] | But my words like silent rain-drops fell. |
| [02:14.980] | And echoed in the wells of silence. |
| [02:22.390] | And the people bow & prayed. |
| [02:26.780] | To the neon God they made. |
| [02:31.080] | And the sign flash out its warning. |
| [02:35.540] | In the words that it was forming |
| [02:39.880] | And the sign said "The words of the prophers. |
| [02:43.230] | Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". |
| [02:50.780] | And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
