Hello darkness my old friend |
| [00:12.170] |
I've come 2 talk with U again |
| [00:16.510] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:21.320] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:25.790] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:32.660] |
Still remains. |
| [00:36.000] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:41.700] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
| [00:46.570] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
| [00:51.050] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [00:55.490] |
I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp. |
| [01:00.210] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. |
| [01:06.980] |
That split the night. |
| [01:10.420] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:16.150] |
And in the naked night I saw. |
| [01:20.600] |
Ten thousand people maybe more |
| [01:25.310] |
People talking without speaking. |
| [01:29.760] |
People hearing without listening |
| [01:34.150] |
People writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:41.990] |
And no one dare. |
| [01:45.310] |
Disturb the sound of silence |
| [01:49.850] |
|
| [01:50.950] |
"Fool" said I "U do not know. |
| [01:55.450] |
"Silence like a cancer grows. |
| [01:59.740] |
Hear my words that I might teach U |
| [02:04.160] |
"Take my arms that I might reach U |
| [02:08.620] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:17.980] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:25.390] |
And the people bow & prayed |
| [02:29.780] |
To the neon God they made |
| [02:34.080] |
And the sign flash out its warning. |
| [02:38.540] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:42.880] |
And the sign said "The words of the prophers |
| [02:46.230] |
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". |
| [02:53.780] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
| [03:02.420] |
