[00:00.46]The Sound Of Silence
[00:09.82]Hello darkness, my old friend,
[00:12.32]
[00:13.25]I  ve come to talk with you again,
[00:15.94]
[00:17.44]Because a vision softly creeping in,
[00:19.93]
[00:22.37]Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
[00:25.36]
[00:26.92]And the vision that was planted in my brain
[00:32.17]
[00:33.48]Still remains
[00:35.28]
[00:36.91]Within the sound of silence.
[00:40.59]
[00:42.71]In restless dreams I walked alone
[00:45.41]
[00:47.66]Narrow streets of cobblestone,
[00:50.34]
[00:52.02]  Neath the halo of a street lamp,
[00:55.08]
[00:56.14]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:59.70]
[01:00.95]When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
[01:06.07]
[01:07.50]That split the night
[01:08.87]
[01:10.30]And touched the sound of silence.
[01:14.30]
[01:16.36]And in the naked light I saw
[01:19.17]
[01:20.60]Ten thousand people, maybe more.
[01:23.29]
[01:25.16]People talking without speaking,
[01:28.22]
[01:29.72]People hearing without listening,
[01:32.78]
[01:34.21]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:40.44]
[01:41.76]And no one dared
[01:43.19]
[01:45.01]Disturb the sound of silence.
[01:48.20]
[01:49.82] Fools  said I,  You do not know
[01:54.44]
[01:55.00]Silence like a cancer grows.
[01:57.75]
[01:59.18]Hear my words that I might teach you,
[02:02.19]
[02:03.50]Take my arms that I might reach out you. 
[02:07.20]
[02:07.97]But my words like silent raindrops fell,
[02:12.83]
[02:14.90]And echoed
[02:19.01]
[02:21.38]In the wells of silence.
[02:23.19]
[02:24.32]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:27.37]
[02:28.31]To the neon god they made.
[02:31.61]
[02:32.67]And the sign flashed out its warning,
[02:35.67]
[02:36.86]In the words that it was forming.
[02:39.54]
[02:40.91]And the sign said,
[02:42.66]the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
[02:46.71]
[02:48.04]And tenement halls.
[02:49.29]
[02:50.80]And whisper  d in the sounds of silence. 
[03:01.38]
