Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:09.799] |
I've come to talk with you again. |
| [00:14.799] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:19.800] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:23.800] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:30.800] |
Still remains within the sound of silence |
| [00:40.680] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [00:45.680] |
narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [00:49.680] |
Neath the halo of a streetlamp, |
| [00:54.680] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [00:58.680] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:04.780] |
split the night |
| [01:08.690] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:14.690] |
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more |
| [01:23.690] |
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening |
| [01:32.690] |
People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared |
| [01:42.690] |
To stir the sound of silence |
| [01:49.690] |
Fool, said I, you do not know |
| [01:53.690] |
silence, like a cancer, grows |
| [01:58.690] |
Hear my words and I might teach you |
| [02:02.690] |
take my arms then I might reach you |
| [02:07.690] |
But my words, like silent raindrops fell |
| [02:15.799] |
and echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:22.799] |
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they'd made |
| [02:32.399] |
And the sign flashed its warning in the words that it was forming |
| [02:41.399] |
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls |
| [02:51.399] |
And tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence |
