Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:07.190] |
I've come 2 talk with U again. |
| [00:11.670] |
Because a vision softly creeping. |
| [00:15.380] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:20.940] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:26.630] |
Still remains. |
| [00:31.410] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:36.960] |
In restless dreams I walk alone. |
| [00:41.540] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
| [00:45.960] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp. |
| [00:50.280] |
I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp. |
| [00:55.030] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. |
| [01:02.130] |
That split the night. |
| [01:05.880] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:11.160] |
And in the naked night I saw. |
| [01:15.650] |
Ten thousand people maybe more. |
| [01:20.800] |
People talking without speaking. |
| [01:24.850] |
People hearing without listening. |
| [01:29.500] |
People writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:36.920] |
And no one dare. |
| [01:40.280] |
Disturb the sound of silence. |
| [01:46.390] |
"Fool" said I "U do not know." |
| [01:50.580] |
"Silence like a cancer grows." |
| [01:54.860] |
Hear my words that I might teach U." |
| [01:59.500] |
"Take my arms that I might reach U." |
| [02:03.670] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell. |
| [02:13.080] |
And echoed in the wells of silence. |
| [02:20.500] |
And the people bow & prayed. |
| [02:24.780] |
To the neon God they made. |
| [02:28.970] |
And the sign flash out its warning. |
| [02:33.520] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:37.800] |
And the sign said "The words of the prophers. |
| [02:41.520] |
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". |
| [02:48.710] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
