歌词
[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
