[ti:the sound of silence]
[ar:paul simon]
[00:03.52] Sung By "Paul Simon"
[00:04.21] Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:08.01] I've come to talk with you again.
[00:12.46] Because a vision softly creeping
[00:17.16] Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:21.92] And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:28.57] Still remains with the sound of silence
[00:37.95] In restless dreams I walk alone
[00:42.36] Narrow streets of cobble stone
[00:46.73] Beneath the hallo of a street lamp,
[00:51.43] I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:55.94] When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light
[01:02.91] That split the night
[01:06.33] And touched the sound of silence
[01:12.16] And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more
[01:21.17] People talking without speaking hearing without listening
[01:30.47] People writing songs that voices never share
[01:38.10] And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
[01:47.20] "Fool"said I "you do not know
[01:51.39] Silence like a cancer grows
[01:55.75] Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:00.18] Take my arms that I might reach you
[02:04.64] But my words like silent rain-drops fell
[02:12.41] And echo-ed in the wells of silence
[02:21.67] And the people bow and prayed
[02:23.15] to the neon God they made
[02:30.15] And the sign flash out its warning
[02:34.50] In the words that it was forming
[02:38.88] And the sings said "The words of the prophers are
[02:42.95] written the subway walls and tenement halls"
[02:49.91] And whispered in the sounds of silence
