Hello darkness, my old friend |
| [00:10.517] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [00:19.283] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:25.795] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:35.815] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:39.321] |
Still remains |
| [00:42.829] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [00:52.596] |
Hello darkness, my old friend |
| [00:57.607] |
I've come to talk with you again |
| [01:02.769] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [01:07.777] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [01:12.535] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [01:19.797] |
Still remains |
| [01:23.310] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [01:30.818] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [01:36.330] |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [01:41.089] |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [01:45.847] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:51.859] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:57.875] |
That split the night |
| [02:01.624] |
And touched the sound of silence |
| [02:10.141] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [02:13.897] |
Ten thousand people, maybe more |
| [02:19.658] |
People talking without speaking |
| [02:23.917] |
People hearing without listening |
| [02:26.672] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [02:35.939] |
And no one dare |
| [02:40.199] |
Disturb the sound of silence |
| [02:44.208] |
"Fools" said I, "You do not know |
| [02:49.469] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [02:56.732] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [02:59.988] |
Take my arms that I might reach you" |
| [03:05.998] |
But my words like silent raindrops fell |
| [03:10.759] |
And echoed |
| [03:12.763] |
In the wells of silence |
| [03:20.028] |
And the people bowed and prayed |
| [03:23.284] |
To the neon god they made |
| [03:27.540] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [03:31.799] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [03:36.305] |
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets |
| [03:39.062] |
Are written on the subway walls |
| [03:44.323] |
And tenement halls" |
| [03:46.329] |
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence |
