Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:07.93] |
I've come to talk with U again. |
| [00:11.62] |
|
| [00:12.38] |
Because a vision softly creeping. |
| [00:16.46] |
|
| [00:17.02] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:21.79] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:28.39] |
Still remains. |
| [00:31.76] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:36.35] |
|
| [00:37.47] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
| [00:41.73] |
|
| [00:42.48] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
| [00:46.75] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [00:51.28] |
I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp. |
| [00:56.10] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. |
| [01:02.59] |
That split the night. |
| [01:06.52] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:11.34] |
|
| [01:12.02] |
And in the naked night I saw. |
| [01:16.30] |
Ten thousand people maybe more. |
| [01:20.93] |
People talking without speaking |
| [01:25.45] |
People hearing without listening. |
| [01:30.35] |
People writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:37.86] |
And no one dare. |
| [01:40.17] |
Disturb the sound of silence |
| [01:46.88] |
Fool" said I "U do not know |
| [01:51.20] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [01:55.41] |
Hear my words that I might teach U |
| [01:59.86] |
Take my arms that I might reach U |
| [02:04.63] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:11.44] |
|
| [02:14.05] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:21.25] |
And the people bow & prayed |
| [02:25.39] |
To the neon God they made |
| [02:29.72] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
| [02:34.24] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:38.56] |
And the sign said "The words of the prophers. |
| [02:42.07] |
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". |
| [02:49.54] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
