Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:23.690] |
I've come 2 talk with U again. |
| [00:28.170] |
Because a vision softly creeping. |
| [00:31.880] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:37.440] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:43.130] |
Still remains. |
| [00:47.910] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:53.460] |
In restless dreams I walk alone. |
| [00:58.040] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
| [01:02.460] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp. |
| [01:06.780] |
I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp. |
| [01:11.530] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. |
| [01:18.630] |
That split the night. |
| [01:22.380] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:27.660] |
And in the naked night I saw. |
| [01:32.150] |
Ten thousand people maybe more. |
| [01:37.300] |
People talking without speaking. |
| [01:41.350] |
People hearing without listening. |
| [01:46.000] |
People writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:53.420] |
And no one dare. |
| [01:56.780] |
Disturb the sound of silence. |
| [02:02.890] |
"Fool" said I "U do not know." |
| [02:07.080] |
"Silence like a cancer grows." |
| [02:11.360] |
Hear my words that I might teach U." |
| [02:16.000] |
"Take my arms that I might reach U." |
| [02:20.170] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell. |
| [02:29.580] |
And echoed in the wells of silence. |
| [02:37.000] |
And the people bow & prayed. |
| [02:41.280] |
To the neon God they made. |
| [02:45.470] |
And the sign flash out its warning. |
| [02:50.020] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:54.300] |
And the sign said "The words of the prophers. |
| [02:58.020] |
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". |
| [03:05.210] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
