Hello darkness my old friend. |
[00:08.590] |
I've come to talk with U again. |
[00:13.070] |
Because a vision softly creeping. |
[00:16.780] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
[00:22.940] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain. |
[00:28.630] |
Still remains. |
[00:33.410] |
Within the sound of silence ! |
[00:38.960] |
In restless dreams I walk alone. |
[00:43.540] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone. |
[00:47.960] |
\'Neath the halo of a street lamp. |
[00:52.280] |
I turned my collar to the cold & damp. |
[00:57.030] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light. |
[01:04.130] |
That split the night. |
[01:07.880] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
[01:13.160] |
And in the naked night I saw. |
[01:17.650] |
Ten thousand people maybe more. |
[01:23.400] |
People talking without speaking. |
[01:27.450] |
People hearing without listening. |
[01:32.100] |
People writing songs that voices never share. |
[01:39.520] |
And no one dare. |
[01:42.880] |
Disturb the sound of silence. |
[01:48.990] |
\"Fool\" said I \"U do not know. |
[01:53.180] |
\"Silence like a cancer grows. |
[01:57.460] |
\"Hear my words that I might teach U. |
[02:02.100] |
\"Take my arms that I might reach U. |
[02:06.270] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell. |
[02:15.680] |
And echoed in the wells of silence. |
[02:23.100] |
And the people bow & prayed. |
[02:27.380] |
To the neon God they made. |
[02:33.970] |
And the sign flash out its warning. |
[02:38.520] |
In the words that it was forming. |
[02:43.100] |
And the sign said \"The words of the prophers. |
[02:46.820] |
Are written the subway walls & tenement halls |
[02:54.010] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence. |
