Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:08.160] |
I've come to talk with U again. |
| [00:12.610] |
Because a vision softly creeping. |
| [00:17.320] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:21.910] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
| [00:28.610] |
Still remains. |
| [00:32.040] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:36.500] |
|
| [00:37.830] |
In restless dreams I walk alone. |
| [00:42.550] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
| [00:46.950] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp. |
| [00:51.270] |
I turned my collar to the cold & damp. |
| [00:56.180] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. |
| [01:02.760] |
That split the night. |
| [01:06.410] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:11.080] |
|
| [01:11.970] |
And in the naked night I saw. |
| [01:16.390] |
Ten thousand people maybe more. |
| [01:21.150] |
People talking without speaking. |
| [01:25.650] |
People hearing without listening. |
| [01:30.040] |
People writing songs that voices never share. |
| [01:37.760] |
And no one dare. |
| [01:40.940] |
Disturb the sound of silence |
| [01:46.940] |
"Fool" said I "U do not know. |
| [01:51.150] |
"Silence like a cancer grows. |
| [01:55.650] |
Hear my words that I might teach U. |
| [01:59.940] |
"Take my arms that I might reach U. |
| [02:04.430] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:10.600] |
|
| [02:13.850] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [02:20.390] |
|
| [02:21.050] |
And the people bow & prayed. |
| [02:25.420] |
To the neon God they made. |
| [02:29.730] |
And the sign flash out its warning. |
| [02:34.120] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [02:38.520] |
And the sign said "The words of the prophers. |
| [02:42.370] |
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls". |
| [02:46.260] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
| [02:57.520] |
|
