The Sound Of Silence - Paul Simon
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
'Neat 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 share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
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 out
it's warning
In the words that it was
forming
And the signs said
The words of the prophets are
written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the
sounds of silence
