Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it seeds while I was sleeping
[Verse 2]
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
Silence
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
[Verse 5]
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
[Verse 6]
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
Silence
[Verse 7]
Fools said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my word that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
[Verse 8]
But my words like silent raindrops fell
An echoed in the wells of silence
The silence
[Verse 9]
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flash out it's warning
In the words that I was forming
[Verse 10]
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
Whispered
And whispered in the sound of silence
[Verse 11]
In the sound of silence
In the sound, the sound of silence
In the sound of silence
Mmm, the sound of silence
Silence
