[00:04.070]Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:07.690]I've come 2 talk with U again.
[00:12.170]Because a vision softly creeping.
[00:15.880]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:21.440]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:27.130]Still remains.
[00:31.910]Within the sound of silence !
[00:37.460]In restless dreams I walk alone.
[00:42.040]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:46.460]'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[00:50.780]I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp.
[00:55.530]When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
[01:02.630]That split the night.
[01:06.380]And touched the sound of silence.
[01:11.660]And in the naked night I saw.
[01:16.150]Ten thousand people maybe more.
[01:21.300]People talking without speaking.
[01:25.350]People hearing without listening.
[01:30.000]People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:37.420]And no one dare.
[01:40.780]Disturb the sound of silence.
[01:46.890]"Fool" said I "U do not know."
[01:51.080]"Silence like a cancer grows."
[01:55.360]"Hear my words that I might teach U."
[02:00.000]"Take my arms that I might reach U."
[02:04.170]But my words like silent rain-drops fell.
[02:13.580]And echoed in the wells of silence.
[02:21.000]And the people bow & prayed.
[02:25.280]To the neon God they made.
[02:29.470]And the sign flash out its warning.
[02:34.020]In the words that it was forming.
[02:38.300]And the sign said "The words of the prophers.
[02:42.020]Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
[02:49.210]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
