Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of Silence
Author And Composer: Paul Simon
|
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
|
|
In restless dreams I walked alone
|
|
Narrow streets of cobblestone
|
|
'neath 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
|
|
And in the naked light I saw
|
|
Ten thousand people, maybe more
|
|
People talking without speaking
|
|
People hearing without listening
|
|
People writing songs
|
|
That voices never share
|
|
And no one dare
|
|
Disturb the sound of silence
|
|
Fools said I, you do not know
|
|
Silence like a cancer grows
|
|
Hear my word that I might teach you
|
|
Take my arms that I might reach you
|
|
But my words like silent
|
|
Raindrops fell
|
|
And echoed
|
|
In the wells of silence
|
|
And the people bowed and prayed
|
|
To the neon God they made
|
|
And the sign flashed out it warning
|
|
In the words that it was forming
|
|
|
|
And the sign said
|
|
The words of the prophets
|
|
Are written on the subway walls
|
|
And tenement halls
|
|
And whisper'd in the sounds
|
|
Of silence
