Hello darkness my old friend. |
[00:08.000] |
I've come to talk with you again. |
[00:13.000] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
[00:18.000] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
[00:22.000] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
[00:29.000] |
Still remains with the sound of silence |
[00:38.000] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
[00:43.000] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone |
[00:47.000] |
Beneath the hallo of a street lamp, |
[00:52.000] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
[00:56.000] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
[01:03.000] |
That split the night |
[01:06.000] |
And touched the sound of silence |
[01:12.000] |
And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more |
[01:21.000] |
People talking without speaking hearing without listening |
[01:30.000] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
[01:38.000] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence |
[01:47.000] |
"Fool" said I "you do not know |
[01:51.000] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
[01:56.000] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
[02:00.000] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
[02:05.000] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
[02:14.000] |
And echo-ed in the wells of silence |
[02:21.000] |
And the people bow and prayed |
[02:26.000] |
to the neon God they made |
[02:30.000] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
[02:34.000] |
In the words that it was forming |
[02:39.000] |
And the sings said "The words of the prophers are |
[02:43.000] |
written the subway walls and tenement halls" |
[02:49.000] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
[02:58.000] |
