Hello darkness my old friend. |
[00:08.000] |
I've come to talk with you again. |
[00:13.000] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
[00:18.000] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
[00:22.000] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
[00:29.600] |
Still remains with the sound of silence |
[00:38.900] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
[00:44.200] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone |
[00:48.500] |
Beneath the hallo of a street lamp, |
[00:53.800] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
[00:57.800] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
[01:04.800] |
That split the night |
[01:07.800] |
And touched the sound of silence |
[01:13.800] |
And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more |
[01:22.800] |
People talking without speaking hearing without listening |
[01:31.800] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
[01:39.800] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence |
[01:48.800] |
"Fool" said I "you do not know |
[01:52.800] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
[01:57.800] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
[02:01.800] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
[02:06.800] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
[02:15.800] |
And echo-ed in the wells of silence |
[02:22.800] |
And the people bow and prayed |
[02:27.800] |
to the neon God they made |
[02:31.800] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
[02:35.800] |
In the words that it was forming |
[02:40.800] |
And the sings said "The words of the prophers are |
[02:44.800] |
written the subway walls and tenement halls" |
[02:50.800] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
[02:59.800] |
