The Sound Of Silence

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simon & Garfunkel

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello darkness my old friend

 

I`ve come to talk with you again

 

Because a vision softly creeping

 

I left the seeds while I was sleeping

 

And the vision

 

that was planted In my brain

 

still remains

 

within the sound of silence

 

In restless dreams I walked alone

 

narrow streets of cobble stone

 

neath the halo of a street lamp

 

turned my collar to the cold and damp

 

When my eyes were stabbed

 

by the flash of a neon light

 

that split the night

 

and touched the sound of silence

 

And in the naked light I saw

 

ten thousand people maybe more

 

People talking without speaking

 

People hearing without listening

 

People writing songs

 

that voices never share

 

no one dare

 

disturb the sound of silence

 

Foods said I

 

You do not know

 

silence like a cancer grow

 

Hear my words that I might teach you

 

Take my arms

 

that I might reach you

 

But my words

 

like silent raindrops fell

 

and echoed

 

in the wells of silence

 

And the people bowed and prayed

 

to the neon god they made

 

And the sign flashed out it`s warning

 

In the words that it was forming

 

And the signs said

 

the words of the prophets are written

 

on the subway walls and tenement halls

 

whispered

 

in the sounds of silence
