Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:08.00] |
I've come to talk with you again. |
| [00:13.00] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:18.00] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:22.00] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:29.00] |
Still remains within the sound of silence |
| [00:38.00] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
| [00:43.00] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [00:47.00] |
Neath the hallo of a street lamp, |
| [00:52.00] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [00:56.00] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:03.00] |
That split the night |
| [01:06.00] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:12.00] |
And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more |
| [01:21.00] |
People talking without speaking Peopel hearing without listening |
| [01:30.00] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [01:38.00] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence |
| [01:47.00] |
"Fool" said I "you do not know |
| [01:51.00] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [01:56.00] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:00.00] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
| [02:05.00] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:14.00] |
And echo-ed in the wells of silence |
| [02:21.00] |
And the people bow and prayed |
| [02:26.00] |
to the neon God they made |
| [02:30.00] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
| [02:34.00] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:39.00] |
And the signs said "The words of the prophets are |
| [02:43.00] |
written on the subway walls and tenement halls" |
| [02:49.00] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
| [02:58.00] |
|
