Hello darkness my old friend.
Because a vision softly creeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain.
Within the sound of silence !
In restless dreams I walk alone.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked night I saw.
People talking without speaking.
People writing songs that voices never share.
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fool" said I "U do not know."
"Hear my words that I might teach U."
But my words like silent rain-drops fell.
To the neon God they made.
In the words that it was forming.
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
