hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:07.84] |
i've come to talk with you again. |
| [00:12.34] |
because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:17.23] |
left its seeds while i was sleeping. |
| [00:21.93] |
and the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:29.13] |
still remains with the sound of silence |
| [00:38.84] |
in restless dreams i walk alone |
| [00:43.66] |
narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [00:48.14] |
beneath the hallo of a street lamp, |
| [00:52.61] |
i turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [00:57.49] |
when my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:04.72] |
that split the night |
| [01:07.95] |
and touched the sound of silence |
| [01:14.94] |
and in the naked night i saw |
| [01:18.43] |
ten thousand people may be more |
| [01:23.49] |
people talking without speaking |
| [01:28.11] |
people hearing without listening |
| [01:32.88] |
people writing songs that voices never share |
| [01:40.99] |
and no one dare |
| [01:44.53] |
disturb the sound of silence |
| [01:51.21] |
"fool" said i "you do not know |
| [01:55.13] |
silence like a cancer grows |
| [01:59.88] |
hear my words that i might teach you |
| [02:04.43] |
take my arms that i might reach you |
| [02:09.23] |
but my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:19.55] |
and echo-ed in the wells of silence |
| [02:43.03] |
|
| [03:02.70] |
and the people bow and prayed |
| [03:07.02] |
to the neon god they made |
| [03:11.73] |
and the sign flash out its warning |
| [03:16.41] |
in the words that it was forming |
| [03:21.03] |
and the sings said "the words of the prophets are |
| [03:25.31] |
written the subway walls and tenement halls" |
| [03:29.04] |
and whispered in the sounds of silence |
