Hello darkness my old friend. |
| [00:33.499] |
I've come to talk with you again. |
| [00:39.379] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:44.369] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping. |
| [00:48.369] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:55.369] |
Still remains with the sound of silence |
| [01:04.969] |
In restless dreams I walk alone |
| [01:12.979] |
Narrow streets of cobble stone |
| [01:19.079] |
Beneath the hallo of a street lamp, |
| [01:26.179] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:30.179] |
When my eyes were stabbled by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:41.679] |
That split the night |
| [01:45.879] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [02:00.279] |
And in the naked night I saw ten thousand people may be more |
| [02:12.279] |
People talking without speaking hearing without listening |
| [02:26.979] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [02:38.269] |
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence |
| [02:54.789] |
"Fool" said I "you do not know |
| [02:59.990] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [03:06.499] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [03:10.499] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
| [03:16.999] |
But my words like silent rain-drops fell |
| [03:28.399] |
And echo-ed in the wells of silence |
| [03:38.699] |
And the people bow and prayed |
| [03:43.699] |
to the neon God they made |
| [03:53.399] |
And the sign flash out its warning |
| [04:02.199] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [04:07.199] |
And the sings said "The words of the prophers are |
| [04:11.199] |
written the subway walls and tenement halls" |
| [04:17.199] |
And whispered in the sounds of silence |
| [04:28.199] |
in the sounds of silence |
