[00:07.690]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:12.170]I've come 2 talk with U again
[00:16.510]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:21.320]Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[00:25.790]And the vision that was planted in my brain.
[00:32.660]Still remains.
[00:36.000]Within the sound of silence
[00:41.700]In restless dreams I walk alone
[00:46.570]Narrow streets of cobble stone.
[00:51.050]'Neath the halo of a street lamp
[00:55.490]I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp.
[01:00.210]When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light.
[01:06.980]That split the night.
[01:10.420]And touched the sound of silence
[01:16.150]And in the naked night I saw.
[01:20.600]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:25.310]People talking without speaking.
[01:29.760]People hearing without listening
[01:34.150]People writing songs that voices never share.
[01:41.990]And no one dare.
[01:45.310]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:49.850]
[01:50.950]"Fool" said I "U do not know.
[01:55.450]"Silence like a cancer grows.
[01:59.740]Hear my words that I might teach U
[02:04.160]"Take my arms that I might reach U
[02:08.620]But my words like silent rain-drops fell
[02:17.980]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:25.390]And the people bow & prayed
[02:29.780]To the neon God they made
[02:34.080]And the sign flash out its warning.
[02:38.540]In the words that it was forming
[02:42.880]And the sign said "The words of the prophers
[02:46.230]Are written the subway walls & tenement halls".
[02:53.780]And whispered in the sounds of silence.
[03:02.420]
