[00:03.41]Hello darkness my old friend
[00:07.71]I''ve come to talk with you again
[00:12.55]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:17.41]Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:22.25]And the vision that was planted
[00:26.31]In my brain still remains
[00:32.64]Within the sound of silence
[00:38.65]In restless dreams I walked along
[00:43.34]Narrow streets of cobble stone
[00:48.02]Beneath the halo of a street lamp
[00:52.66]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:57.50]When my eyes were stabbed
[00:59.81]By the flash of a neon light
[01:04.31]That split the light
[01:07.96]And touched the sound of silence
[01:13.96]And in the naked light I saw
[01:18.49]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:23.42]People talking without speaking
[01:28.15]People hearing without listening
[01:32.79]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:40.96]And no one dare
[01:43.33]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:49.29]"Fool" said I,"You do not know
[01:54.13]Silence like a cancer grows
[01:58.56]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:03.36]Take my arms that I might reach you"
[02:08.14]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:18.33]And echoed in the walls of silence
[02:25.73]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:30.41]To the neon god they made
[02:35.12]And the sign flashed out its warning
[02:39.80]In the words that it was forming
[02:44.51]And the signs said "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
[02:53.33]And tenement halls"
[02:55.50]Whispering in the sounds of silence
