[00:03.760]Hello darkness my old friend.
[00:08.160]I've come to talk with U again.
[00:12.610]Because a vision softly creeping.
[00:17.320]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:21.910]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:28.610]Still remains.
[00:32.040]Within the sound of silence
[00:36.500]
[00:37.830]In restless dreams I walk alone.
[00:42.550]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:46.950]'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
[00:51.270]I turned my collar to the cold & damp.
[00:56.180]When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
[01:02.760]That split the night.
[01:06.410]And touched the sound of silence.
[01:11.080]
[01:11.970]And in the naked night I saw.
[01:16.390]Ten thousand people maybe more.
[01:21.150]People talking without speaking.
[01:25.650]People hearing without listening.
[01:30.040]People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:37.760]And no one dare.
[01:40.940]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:46.940]"Fool" said I "U do not know.
[01:51.150]"Silence like a cancer grows.
[01:55.650]Hear my words that I might teach U.
[01:59.940]"Take my arms that I might reach U.
[02:04.430]But my words like silent rain-drops fell
[02:10.600]
[02:13.850]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:20.390]
[02:21.050]And the people bow & prayed.
[02:25.420]To the neon God they made.
[02:29.730]And the sign flash out its warning.
[02:34.120]In the words that it was forming
[02:38.520]And the sign said "The words of the prophers.
[02:42.370]Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
[02:46.260]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
[02:57.520]
