Hello darkness my old friend |
| [00:08.220] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [00:16.250] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:22.590] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:28.320] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:36.660] |
Still remains with the sound of silence |
| [00:49.560] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
| [00:57.330] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [01:03.980] |
Beneath the hallo of a street lamp |
| [01:09.250] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:15.480] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:23.720] |
That split the night |
| [01:28.320] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:35.180] |
And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more |
| [01:46.990] |
People talking without speaking People hearing without listening |
| [01:58.140] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [02:07.670] |
|
| [02:14.220] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence |
| [02:19.590] |
Fool said I you do not know |
| [02:24.900] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [02:30.430] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:35.900] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
| [02:41.640] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:53.760] |
And echo-ed in the wells of silence |
| [03:03.980] |
And the people bow and prayed |
| [03:11.450] |
to the neon God they made |
| [03:18.510] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
| [03:24.280] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [03:29.650] |
And the sings said The words of the prophers are |
| [03:34.510] |
written the subway walls and tenement halls |
| [03:42.790] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
