  • Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
  • =======================================
  • (3:06)
  • P. Simon, 1964
  • Hello darkness, my old friend
  • I've come to talk with you again
  • Because a vision softly creeping
  • Left its 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 cobblestone
  • 'Neath the halo of a street lamp
  • I turn 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 ***** light I saw
  • Ten thousand people maybe more
  • People talking without speaking
  • People hearing without listening
  • People writing songs that voices never shared
  • No one dared
  • Disturb the sound of silence
  • "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 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 its warning
  • In the words that it was forming
  • And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
  • And tenement halls
  • And whispered in the sound of silence"
