[00:03.54]Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:07.93]I've come to talk with U again.
[00:11.62]
[00:12.38]Because a vision softly creeping.
[00:16.46]
[00:17.02]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:21.79]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:28.39]Still remains.
[00:31.76]Within the sound of silence
[00:36.35]
[00:37.47]In restless dreams I walk alone
[00:41.73]
[00:42.48]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:46.75]'Neath the halo of a street lamp
[00:51.28]I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp.
[00:56.10]When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
[01:02.59]That split the night.
[01:06.52]And touched the sound of silence.
[01:11.34]
[01:12.02]And in the naked night I saw.
[01:16.30]Ten thousand people maybe more.
[01:20.93]People talking without speaking
[01:25.45]People hearing without listening.
[01:30.35]People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:37.86]And no one dare.
[01:40.17]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:46.88]Fool" said I "U do not know
[01:51.20]Silence like a cancer grows
[01:55.41]Hear my words that I might teach U
[01:59.86]Take my arms that I might reach U
[02:04.63]But my words like silent rain-drops fell
[02:11.44]
[02:14.05]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:21.25]And the people bow & prayed
[02:25.39]To the neon God they made
[02:29.72]And the sign flash out its warning
[02:34.24]In the words that it was forming
[02:38.56]And the sign said "The words of the prophers.
[02:42.07]Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
[02:49.54]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
