Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (from The Concert in Central Park) (128 kbps)

[00:01.28] Hello, darkness, my old friend

[00:15.36] I've come to talk with you again

[00:20.41] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:26.78] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:31.59] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:39.83] Still remains

[00:43.81] Within the sound of silence

[00:50.72] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:56.03] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[01:01.36] 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp

[01:06.39] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[01:11.71] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:20.20] That split the night

[01:24.20] And touched the sound of silence

[01:31.09] And in the naked light I saw

[01:36.68] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:42.52] People talking without speaking

[01:48.09] People hearing without listening

[01:53.41] People writing songs that voices never share

[02:03.24] No one dared

[02:06.96] Disturb the sound of silence

[02:13.86] "Fools," said I, "You do not know

[02:18.91] Silence like a cancer grows

[02:25.02] Hear my words that I might teach you

[02:30.34] Take my arms that I might reach you."

[02:35.91] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:46.01] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:57.17] And the people bowed and prayed

[03:02.20] To the neon god they made

[03:07.51] And the sign flashed out its warning

[03:13.09] In the words that it was forming

[03:18.40] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

[03:22.39] Are written on the subway walls

[03:27.72] And tenement halls

[03:31.16] And whispered in the sounds of silence."
