Hello darkness my old friend |
| [00:22.46] |
love come to talk with you again |
| [00:26.89] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:31.95] |
left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:36.80] |
And the vision |
| [00:39.18] |
that was planted in my brain |
| [00:43.86] |
Still remains |
| [00:48.36] |
within the sound of silence |
| [00:54.47] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [00:58.92] |
narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [01:03.70] |
Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [01:08.54] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:13.11] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:24.08] |
That split the night and touched the sound of silence |
| [01:31.07] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [01:35.66] |
ten thousand people maybe more |
| [01:40.33] |
People talking without speaking |
| [01:44.88] |
people hearing without listening |
| [01:49.65] |
People writing songs |
| [01:52.49] |
that voices never share |
| [01:56.56] |
No one dare disturb the sound of silence |
| [02:07.72] |
Fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows |
| [02:16.80] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:21.42] |
take my arms that I might reach you |
| [02:26.02] |
But my words like silence raindrops fell |
| [02:34.16] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:44.19] |
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made |
| [02:53.23] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [02:58.00] |
in the words that it was forming |
| [03:01.80] |
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls |
| [03:09.67] |
And tenement halls |
| [03:12.67] |
and whispered in the sounds of silence |
| [03:23.31] |
|
