[00:00.00]
[00:04.24]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:09.22]I've come to talk with you again
[00:14.23]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:19.55]Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:25.08]And the vision that was planted
[00:29.83]In my brain still remains
[00:37.01]Within the sound of silence
[00:43.73]In restless dreams I walked along
[00:49.03]Narrow streets of cobble stone
[00:54.48]Beneath the halo of a street lamp
[00:59.87]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[01:05.39]When my eyes were stabbed
[01:08.50]By the flash of a neon light
[01:12.79]That split the light
[01:17.00]And touched the sound of silence
[01:24.00]And in the naked light I saw
[01:29.19]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:34.38]People talking without speaking
[01:39.83]People hearing without listening
[01:45.28]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:54.36]And no one dare
[01:58.39]Disturb the sound of silence
[02:05.17]Fool said I you do not know
[02:10.40]Silence like a cancer grows
[02:15.77]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:21.12]Take my arms that I might reach you
[02:26.36]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:38.07]And echoed in the wells of silence
[02:46.82]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:51.71]To the neon God they made
[02:57.53]And the sign flashed out it's warning
[03:02.47]In the words that it was forming
[03:07.99]And the signs said, 'The words of the prophets
[03:12.28]Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
[03:20.64]And whispered in the sounds of silence
[03:32.39]
