Hello darkness my old friend |
| [00:14.00] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [00:20.00] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:27.00] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:32.00] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:40.80] |
Still remains.Within the sound of silence ! |
| [00:53.46] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
| [00:58.84] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [01:04.00] |
Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [01:10.00] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:16.00] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:24.00] |
That split the night |
| [01:29.30] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [01:35.80] |
And in the naked night I saw |
| [01:41.00] |
Ten thousand people maybe more |
| [01:47.00] |
People talking without speaking |
| [01:53.00] |
People hearing without listening |
| [01:58.00] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [02:07.50] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence. |
| [02:19.00] |
"Fool" said I "you do not know |
| [02:24.00] |
Silence like a cancer grows." |
| [02:30.00] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:35.00] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
| [02:41.00] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [02:51.00] |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
| [03:00.00] |
And the people bow and prayed |
| [03:05.00] |
To the neon God they made |
| [03:10.00] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
| [03:16.02] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [03:22.00] |
And the sign said |
| [03:23.02] |
The words of the prophers are written the subway walls |
| [03:32.00] |
And tenement halls |
| [03:34.21] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
