Mamas & The Papas - Sound Of Silence Lyrics
Hello darkness my old friendI've come to talk with you againbecause the vison is softly creepingleft its seeds while I was sleepingand the vision that was planted in my brainstill remindswithin the sound of silenceIn restless dreams I walked alonenarrow streets of cobblestonebeneath the halo of a street lampI turned my collar to the cold and dampwhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon lightthat split the nightand touched the sound of silenceAnd in the ***** light I sawten thousand people maybe morepeople talking without speakingpeople hearing without listeningpeople writing songs that voices never shareno one fugdisturb the sound of silence"Fools" said I, "You do not knowsilence like the cancer growshear my words that might teach youtake my arms taht I might reach you."but my words like silente rain drops fell--------echo the well of silenceAnd the people bowed and prayedto the neon god they madeand the sign flashed out its warning,in the words that it was formingand the sign said, "The words of the prophetsare written on the subway walls and tenement halls."and whisper'd in the sound of silence.
