Lyrics

[00:03.570] Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:07.190] I've come 2 talk with U again.
[00:11.670] Because a vision softly creeping.
[00:15.380] Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:20.940] And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:26.630] Still remains.
[00:31.410] Within the sound of silence
[00:36.960] In restless dreams I walk alone.
[00:41.540] Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:45.960] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[00:50.280] I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp.
[00:55.030] When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
[01:02.130] That split the night.
[01:05.880] And touched the sound of silence.
[01:11.160] And in the naked night I saw.
[01:15.650] Ten thousand people maybe more.
[01:20.800] People talking without speaking.
[01:24.850] People hearing without listening.
[01:29.500] People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:36.920] And no one dare.
[01:40.280] Disturb the sound of silence.
[01:46.390] "Fool" said I "U do not know."
[01:50.580] "Silence like a cancer grows."
[01:54.860] Hear my words that I might teach U."
[01:59.500] "Take my arms that I might reach U."
[02:03.670] But my words like silent rain-drops fell.
[02:13.080] And echoed in the wells of silence.
[02:20.500] And the people bow & prayed.
[02:24.780] To the neon God they made.
[02:28.970] And the sign flash out its warning.
[02:33.520] In the words that it was forming
[02:37.800] And the sign said "The words of the prophers.
[02:41.520] Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
[02:48.710] And whispered in the sounds of silence.
