Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath 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]
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talkin' without speaking
People hearin' without listening
People writing songs that voices
Never shared, and no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
[Verse 4]
Fools said, I do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words, that I might reach you
Take my arms, that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Echoed in the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
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 a subway wall, tenement hall
Whisper the sound of silence
