Music Lyrics: Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkle

hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
because a vision softly creeeping
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 through
narrow streets of cobblestone
with a halo of a streetlight
I turned my color to the cold and damp
when my eyes were stepped
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
no one did
disturbed the sound of silence
fools said I did not know
silence like a cancer hole
here are my words that I might teach you
take my arms that I might reach you
but my words, like silent rain drops fell
and echoed in the words of silence
and the people bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made
and the silent fetched its warning
in the words that it was forming
and the silence said
the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
and whispered the sounds of silence...
