Art Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence Lyrics
Hello, darkness, my old friendI've come to talk with you againBecause a vision softly creepingLeft its seeds while I was sleepingAnd the vision that was planted in my brainStill remainsWithin the sound of silenceIn restless dreams I walked aloneNarrow streets of cobblestone'Neath the halo of a street lampI turned my collar to the cold and dampWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon lightThat split the nightAnd touched the sound of silenceAnd in the ***** light I sawTen thousand people, maybe morePeople talking without speakingPeople hearing without listeningPeople writing songs that voices never shareAnd no-one daredDisturb the sound of silence'Fools,' said I, 'you do not knowSilence like a cancer growsHear my words that I might teach youTake my arms that I might reach you,'But my words like silent raindrops fellAnd echoedIn the wells of silenceAnd the people bowed and prayedTo the neon god they madeAnd the sign flashed out it's warningIn the words that it was formingAnd the sign said 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway wallsAnd tenement halls'And whisper'dIn the sound of silence
