The Sound Of Silence (Single Version)-Simon And Garfunkel
Hello darkness my old friend.
I've come 2 talk with U 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 walk alone
Narrow streets of cobble stone.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp.
I turned my collar 2 the cold & damp.
When my eyes were stabbled by
the flash of a neon light.
Split the night.
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked night I saw.
Ten thousand people maybe more.
People talking without speaking.
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare.
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fool" said I ain't do not know.
"Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach U.
"Take my arms that I might reach U
But my words like silent rain-drops fell
Echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bow & prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flash out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophers
Are written on the subway walls & tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
