[00:18.26]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:22.46]love come to talk with you again
[00:26.89]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:31.95]left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:36.80]And the vision
[00:39.18]that was planted in my brain
[00:43.86]Still remains
[00:48.36]within the sound of silence
[00:54.47]In restless dreams I walked alone
[00:58.92]narrow streets of cobblestone
[01:03.70]Neath the halo of a street lamp
[01:08.54]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:13.11]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[01:24.08]That split the night and touched the sound of silence
[01:31.07]And in the naked light I saw
[01:35.66]ten thousand people maybe more
[01:40.33]People talking without speaking
[01:44.88]people hearing without listening
[01:49.65]People writing songs
[01:52.49]that voices never share
[01:56.56]No one dare disturb the sound of silence
[02:07.72]Fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows
[02:16.80]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:21.42]take my arms that I might reach you
[02:26.02]But my words like silence raindrops fell
[02:34.16]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:44.19]And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
[02:53.23]And the sign flashed out its warning
[02:58.00]in the words that it was forming
[03:01.80]And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
[03:09.67]And tenement halls
[03:12.67]and whispered in the sounds of silence
[03:23.31]
