Hello darkness, my old friend |
| [00:30.05] |
I’ve come to talk with you again |
| [00:36.55] |
Because a vision softly creeping |
| [00:41.37] |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| [00:47.50] |
And the vision that was planted in my brain |
| [00:56.99] |
Still remains |
| [01:00.49] |
Within the sound of silence |
| [01:10.43] |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
| [01:14.62] |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
| [01:20.41] |
Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| [01:26.03] |
I turned my collar to the cold and damp |
| [01:31.28] |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light |
| [01:41.96] |
That split the night |
| [01:44.73] |
And touched the sound of silence. |
| [01:59.21] |
|
| [02:06.00] |
And in the naked light I saw |
| [02:11.29] |
Ten thousand people maybe more |
| [02:14.89] |
People talking without speaking |
| [02:21.23] |
People hearing without listening |
| [02:27.00] |
People writing songs that voices never share |
| [02:36.92] |
And no one deared |
| [02:40.62] |
Disturb the sound of silence |
| [02:51.13] |
“Fools” said I "You do not know" |
| [02:59.18] |
Silence like a cancer grows |
| [03:05.07] |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
| [03:10.46] |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
| [03:16.40] |
But my words like silent raindrops fell |
| [03:26.80] |
And echoed |
| [03:29.87] |
In the wells of silence |
| [03:40.15] |
And the people bowed and prayed |
| [03:43.78] |
To the neon god they made |
| [03:49.10] |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
| [03:55.05] |
In the words that it was forming |
| [04:00.80] |
And the signs said, The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls |
| [04:10.62] |
And tenement halls |
| [04:14.36] |
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence |
| [04:19.90] |
In the sounds of silence~~~ |
