[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
