Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:07.970] |
I've come to talk with U again. |
| [00:12.310] |
Because a vision softly creeping. |
| [00:17.120] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:21.590] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:28.460] |
Still remains. |
| [00:31.800] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:37.500] |
In restless dreams I walk alone. |
| [00:42.370] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
| [00:46.850] |
Beneath the halo of a street lamp. |
| [00:51.290] |
I turned my collar to the cold & damp. |
| [00:56.010] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light. |
| [01:02.780] |
That split the night. |
| [01:06.220] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:11.950] |
And in the naked night I saw. |
| [01:16.400] |
Ten thousand people maybe more. |
| [01:21.110] |
People talking without speaking. |
| [01:25.560] |
People hearing without listening. |
| [01:29.950] |
People writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:37.790] |
And no one dare. |
| [01:41.110] |
Disturb the sound of silence. |
| [01:46.750] |
"Fool" said I "you do not know." |
| [01:51.250] |
"Silence like a cancer grows." |
| [01:55.540] |
Hear my words that I might teach you." |
| [01:59.960] |
"Take my arms that I might reach you." |
| [02:04.420] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell. |
| [02:13.780] |
And echoed in the wells of silence. |
| [02:21.190] |
And the people bow & prayed. |
| [02:25.580] |
To the neon God they made. |
| [02:29.880] |
And the sign flash out its warning. |
| [02:34.340] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:38.680] |
And the sign said "The words of the prophets. |
| [02:42.030] |
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". |
| [02:49.580] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
