Lyrics

[00:00.00] The sound of silence
[00:00.10] Simon & Garfunkel
[00:00.20]
[00:03.76] Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:08.16] I've come to talk with U again.
[00:12.61] Because a vision softly creeping.
[00:17.32] Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:21.91] And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:28.61] Still remains.
[00:32.04] Within the sound of silence
[00:36.50]
[00:37.83] In restless dreams I walk alone.
[00:42.55] Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:46.95] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[00:51.27] I turned my collar to the cold & damp.
[00:56.18] When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
[01:02.76] That split the night.
[01:06.41] And touched the sound of silence.
[01:11.08]
[01:11.97] And in the naked night I saw.
[01:16.39] Ten thousand people maybe more.
[01:21.15] People talking without speaking.
[01:25.65] People hearing without listening.
[01:30.04] People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:37.76] And no one dare.
[01:40.94] Disturb the sound of silence
[01:46.94] "Fool" said I "U do not know.
[01:51.15] "Silence like a cancer grows.
[01:55.65] Hear my words that I might teach U.
[01:59.94] "Take my arms that I might reach U.
[02:04.43] But my words like silent rain-drops fell
[02:10.60]
[02:13.85] And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:20.39]
[02:21.05] And the people bow & prayed.
[02:25.42] To the neon God they made.
[02:29.73] And the sign flash out its warning.
[02:34.12] In the words that it was forming
[02:38.52] And the sign said "The words of the prophers.
[02:42.37] Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
[02:46.26] And whispered in the sounds of silence.
[02:57.52]
