♪ Hello darkness, my old friend ♪
♪ I've come to talk with you again ♪
♪ Because a vision softly creeping ♪
♪ Left its seeds while I was sleeping ♪
♪ And the vision that
was planted in my brain ♪
♪ Still remains ♪
♪ Within the sound of silence ♪
♪ In restless dreams, I walked alone ♪
♪ Narrow streets of cobblestone ♪
♪ 'Neath the halo of a street lamp ♪
♪ I turned my collar
to the cold and damp ♪
♪ When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light ♪
♪ That split the night ♪
♪ And touched the sound of silence ♪
♪ And in the naked light, I saw ♪
♪ Ten thousand people, maybe more ♪
♪ People talking without speaking ♪
♪ People hearing without listening ♪
♪ People writing songs
that voices never shared ♪
♪ And no one dared ♪
♪ Disturb the sound of silence ♪
♪ "Fools" said I, "You do not know ♪
♪ Silence like a cancer grows ♪
♪ Hear my words that I might teach you ♪
♪ Take my arms that I might reach you" ♪
♪ But my words, like
silent raindrops fell ♪
♪ And echoed in the wells of silence ♪
♪ And the people bowed and prayed ♪
♪ To the neon god they made ♪
♪ And the sign flashed its warning ♪
♪ In the words that it was forming ♪
♪ Then the sign said, ♪
♪ "The words on the prophets are
written on the subway walls ♪
♪ In tenement halls" ♪
♪ And whispered in the sound of silence ♪
