Hello darkness my old friend |
| [00:22.640] |
love come to talk with you again |
| [00:27.300] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:32.220] |
left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:36.990] |
And the vision |
| [00:39.250] |
that was planted in my brain |
| [00:43.950] |
Still remains |
| [00:49.010] |
within the sound of silence |
| [00:54.140] |
|
| [00:54.520] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [00:59.360] |
narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [01:03.710] |
Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [01:08.530] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:13.440] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:20.380] |
That split the night and touched the sound of silence |
| [01:31.220] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [01:36.280] |
ten thousand people maybe more |
| [01:40.690] |
People talking without speaking |
| [01:45.410] |
people hearing without listening |
| [01:49.950] |
People writing songs |
| [01:52.520] |
that voices never share |
| [01:56.880] |
No one dare disturb the sound of silence |
| [02:07.620] |
Fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows |
| [02:17.050] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:21.630] |
take my arms that I might reach you |
| [02:26.440] |
But my words like silence raindrops fell |
| [02:33.630] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:44.180] |
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made |
| [02:53.560] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [02:58.240] |
in the words that it was forming |
| [03:01.780] |
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls |
| [03:09.710] |
And tenement halls |
| [03:12.730] |
and whispered in the sounds of silence |
| [03:22.600] |
|
