Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:08.0] |
I've come to talk with you again. |
| [00:13.0] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:18.0] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:22.0] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:29.0] |
Still remains with the sound of silence |
| [00:38.0] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
| [00:43.0] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [00:47.0] |
Beneath the hallo of a street lamp, |
| [00:52.0] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [00:56.0] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:03.0] |
That split the night |
| [01:06.0] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:12.0] |
And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more |
| [01:21.0] |
People talking without speaking hearing without listening |
| [01:30.0] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [01:38.0] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence |
| [01:47.0] |
"Fool" said I "you do not know |
| [01:51.0] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [01:56.0] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:00.0] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
| [02:05.0] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:14.0] |
And echo-ed in the wells of silence |
| [02:21.0] |
And the people bow and prayed |
| [02:26.0] |
to the neon God they made |
| [02:30.0] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
| [02:34.0] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:39.0] |
And the sings said "The words of the prophers are |
| [02:43.0] |
written the subway walls and tenement halls" |
| [02:49.0] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
