[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
