[00:00.00]
[00:03.36]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:08.11]I've come to talk with you again
[00:13.01]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:18.27]Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
[00:23.47]And the vision that was planted
[00:27.79]In my brain still remains
[00:33.59]Within the sound of silence
[00:41.14]In restless dreams I walked along
[00:45.86]Narrow streets of cobble stone
[00:51.15]Beneath the halo of a street lamp
[00:56.13]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:01.39]When my eyes were stabbed
[01:04.00]By the flash of a neon light
[01:08.60]That split the light
[01:11.58]And touched the sound of silence
[01:19.24]And in the naked light I saw
[01:24.15]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:29.01]People talking without speaking
[01:34.06]People hearing without listening
[01:39.18]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:47.38]And no one dare
[01:51.33]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:58.33]Fool said I you do not know
[02:03.15]Silence like a cancer grows
[02:08.22]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:13.02]Take my arms that I might reach you
[02:18.51]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:29.12]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:37.53]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:42.32]To the neon God they made
[02:47.57]And the sign flashed out it's warning
[02:52.39]In the words that it was forming
[02:57.66]And the signs said, 'The words of the prophets
[03:01.20]Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
[03:09.72]And whispered in the sounds of silence
[03:20.61]
