[Verse 1]

Hello, darkness, my old friend

I've come with talk to you again

Because a vision, softly creepin'

Left its seeds while I was sleepin'

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

[Verse 2]

In restless dreams, I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I 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

[Verse 3]

In the naked light, I saw her

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking with out speaking

People hearing with out listening

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dares

Disturb the sound of silence

[Verse 4]

Fools, said I, you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach out to you

But my words, like silent raindrops fell

And it echoed

In the wells of silence

[Verse 5]

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed its warning

And the words that it was forming

Said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sound of silence

[Verse 6]

Thank you so much
