hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:08.32] |
i've come to talk with you again. |
| [00:10.37] |
|
| [00:12.70] |
because a vision softly creeping. |
| [00:14.81] |
|
| [00:17.51] |
left its seeds while i was sleeping. |
| [00:19.87] |
|
| [00:22.01] |
and the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:26.94] |
|
| [00:28.65] |
still remains. |
| [00:29.70] |
|
| [00:32.09] |
within the sound of silence ! |
| [00:36.20] |
|
| [00:38.15] |
in restless dreams i walk along. |
| [00:39.89] |
|
| [00:42.71] |
narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [00:44.26] |
|
| [00:47.21] |
'neath the halo of a street lamp. |
| [00:49.70] |
|
| [00:51.40] |
i turned my collar to the cold damp. |
| [00:53.45] |
|
| [00:56.28] |
when my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:01.08] |
|
| [01:02.90] |
that split the night.. |
| [01:04.20] |
|
| [01:06.65] |
and touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:08.45] |
|
| [01:12.17] |
and in the naked light i saw. |
| [01:14.47] |
|
| [01:16.54] |
ten thousand people, maybe more. |
| [01:18.59] |
|
| [01:21.29] |
people talking without speaking. |
| [01:22.97] |
|
| [01:25.67] |
people hearing without listening. |
| [01:27.09] |
|
| [01:30.27] |
people writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:35.95] |
|
| [01:37.90] |
and no one dare. |
| [01:39.20] |
|
| [01:41.33] |
disturb the sound of silence. |
| [01:43.76] |
|
| [01:47.33] |
"fool" said i "you do not know. |
| [01:49.38] |
|
| [01:51.46] |
"silence like a cancer grows.. |
| [01:53.26] |
|
| [01:55.71] |
"hear my words that i might teach you. |
| [01:58.95] |
|
| [01:59.90] |
"take my arms that i might reach you. |
| [02:02.82] |
|
| [02:04.52] |
but my words like silent rain-drops fell. |
| [02:09.20] |
|
| [02:14.02] |
and echoed in the wells of silence. |
| [02:18.88] |
|
| [02:21.21] |
and the people bowed and prayed. |
| [02:23.01] |
|
| [02:25.65] |
to the neon god they made. |
| [02:27.38] |
|
| [02:29.77] |
and the sign flashed out its warning. |
| [02:31.82] |
|
| [02:34.27] |
in the words that it was forming. |
| [02:36.07] |
|
| [02:38.52] |
and the sign said "the words of the prophets. |
| [02:41.57] |
|
| [02:42.75] |
are written on the subway walls tenement halls". |
| [02:46.93] |
|
| [02:49.31] |
and whispered in the sounds of silence. |
