Lyrics

[00:04.000] Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:08.000] I've come to talk with you again.
[00:13.000] Because a vision softly creeping
[00:18.000] Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:22.000] And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:29.000] Still remains with the sound of silence
[00:38.000] In restless dreams I walk alone
[00:43.000] Narrow streets of cobble stone
[00:47.000] Beneath the hallo of a street lamp,
[00:52.000] I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:56.000] When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light
[01:03.000] That split the night
[01:06.000] And touched the sound of silence
[01:12.000] And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more
[01:21.000] People talking without speaking hearing without listening
[01:30.000] People writing songs that voices never share
[01:38.000] And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
[01:47.000] "Fool" said I "you do not know
[01:51.000] Silence like a cancer grows
[01:56.000] Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:00.000] Take my arms that I might reach you
[02:05.000] But my words like silent rain-drops fell
[02:14.000] And echo-ed in the wells of silence
[02:21.000] And the people bow and prayed
[02:26.000] to the neon God they made
[02:30.000] And the sign flash out its warning
[02:34.000] In the words that it was forming
[02:39.000] And the sings said "The words of the prophers are
[02:43.000] written the subway walls and tenement halls"
[02:49.000] And whispered in the sounds of silence
[02:58.000]
