Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence

[00:03.05] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:06.94] I've come to talk with you again

[00:11.99] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:16.50] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:21.28] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:27.92] Still remains

[00:31.11] Within the sound of silence

[00:36.96] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:41.73] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:46.25] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:50.77] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:55.55] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:02.19] That split the night

[01:05.38] And touched the sound of silence

[01:11.22] And in the naked light I saw

[01:15.74] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:20.52] People talking without speaking

[01:25.04] People hearing without listening

[01:29.55] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:37.26] No one dared

[01:40.43] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:46.28] "Fools" said I, "You do not know

[01:50.80] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:55.05] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:59.56] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:03.81] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:13.53] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:20.72] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:25.24] To the neon god they made

[02:29.49] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:34.00] In the words that it was forming

[02:38.26] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

[02:41.70] Are written on the subway walls

[02:45.69] And tenement halls

[02:48.74] And whispered in the sounds of silence"
