Hello darkness, my old friend |
| [00:57.17] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [01:01.75] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [01:08.10] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [01:15.71] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [01:22.66] |
Still remains |
| [01:26.38] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [01:32.58] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [01:37.44] |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [01:42.49] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [01:48.51] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:56.52] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [02:04.21] |
That split the night |
| [02:07.32] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [02:57.11] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [03:01.73] |
Ten thousand people, maybe more |
| [03:06.94] |
People talking without speaking |
| [03:13.33] |
People hearing without listening |
| [03:19.33] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [03:27.75] |
And no one dared |
| [03:32.64] |
Disturb the sound of silence |
| [03:37.88] |
"Fools", said I, "You do not know |
| [03:42.93] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [03:47.62] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [03:53.87] |
Take my arms that I might reach you" |
| [04:01.32] |
But my words, like silent raindrops fell |
| [04:11.67] |
And echoed |
| [04:15.89] |
In the wells of silence |
| [04:20.01] |
And the people bowed and prayed |
| [04:24.83] |
To the neon god they made |
| [04:29.77] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [04:36.05] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [04:43.13] |
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls |
| [04:50.15] |
And tenement halls" |
| [04:53.74] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
