Hello darkness, my old friend |
| [01:22.19] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [01:27.34] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [01:32.19] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [01:40.98] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [01:47.28] |
Still remains |
| [01:50.96] |
Within the sound of silence,sound of silence. |
| [02:20.68] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [02:25.74] |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [02:30.63] |
Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [02:35.22] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [02:41.48] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [02:47.99] |
That split the night |
| [02:51.07] |
And touched the sound of silence,sound of silence |
| [03:01.99] |
And the people bowed and prayed |
| [03:05.37] |
To the neon god they made |
| [03:09.43] |
"Fools" said I, "You do not know |
| [03:12.78] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [03:33.52] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [03:37.76] |
Ten thousand people, maybe more |
| [03:42.95] |
People talking without speaking |
| [03:48.20] |
People hearing without listening |
| [04:09.71] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [04:14.57] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [04:18.82] |
"The words of the prophets |
| [04:21.01] |
Are written on the subway walls |
| [04:24.86] |
And tenement halls |
| [04:28.49] |
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence×4 |
| [04:58.86] |
"Fools" said I, "You do not know |
| [05:01.30] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [05:03.50] |
Hear my words that I might teach you, |
| [05:06.03] |
Take my arms that I might reach you." |
