[00:03.62] |
hello darkness my old friend. |
[00:07.84] |
i've come to talk with you again. |
[00:12.34] |
because a vision softly creeping |
[00:17.23] |
left its seeds while i was sleeping. |
[00:21.93] |
and the vision that was planted in my brain |
[00:29.13] |
still remains with the sound of silence |
[00:38.84] |
in restless dreams i walk alone |
[00:43.66] |
narrow streets of cobble stone |
[00:48.14] |
beneath the hallo of a street lamp, |
[00:52.61] |
i turned my collar to the cold and damp |
[00:57.49] |
when my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
[01:04.72] |
that split the night |
[01:07.95] |
and touched the sound of silence |
[01:14.94] |
and in the naked night i saw |
[01:18.43] |
ten thousand people may be more |
[01:23.49] |
people talking without speaking |
[01:28.11] |
people hearing without listening |
[01:32.88] |
people writing songs that voices never share |
[01:40.99] |
and no one dare |
[01:44.53] |
disturb the sound of silence |
[01:51.21] |
"fool" said i "you do not know |
[01:55.13] |
silence like a cancer grows |
[01:59.88] |
hear my words that i might teach you |
[02:04.43] |
take my arms that i might reach you |
[02:09.23] |
but my words like silent rain-drops fell |
[02:19.55] |
and echo-ed in the wells of silence |
[02:43.03] |
|
[03:02.70] |
and the people bow and prayed |
[03:07.02] |
to the neon god they made |
[03:11.73] |
and the sign flash out its warning |
[03:16.41] |
in the words that it was forming |
[03:21.03] |
and the sings said "the words of the prophets are |
[03:25.31] |
written the subway walls and tenement halls" |
[03:29.04] |
and whispered in the sounds of silence |
