Simon _ Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

[00:02.78] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:07.32] I've come to talk with you again

[00:11.34] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:16.27] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:21.09] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:27.62] Still remains

[00:30.84] Within the sound of silence

[00:36.76] In restless dreams I walked alone

[00:41.42] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:45.85] 'Neath the halo of a street lamp

[00:50.52] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:54.83] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:01.57] That split the night

[01:04.92] And touched the sound of silence

[01:11.23] And in the naked light I saw

[01:15.86] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:19.96] People talking without speaking

[01:24.34] People hearing without listening

[01:28.90] People writing songs that voices never share

[01:36.33] No one dared

[01:39.17] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:45.92] "Fools" said I, "You do not know

[01:50.25] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:54.59] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:58.85] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:03.34] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:12.06] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:20.39] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:24.89] To the neon god they made

[02:28.69] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:33.61] In the words that it was forming

[02:37.72] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

[02:41.59] Are written on the subway walls

[02:45.39] And tenement halls"

[02:47.87] And whispered in the sounds of silence
