Sounds Of Silence Lyrics - Simon And Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend 

I've come to talk with you again 

Because a vision softly creeping 

Left it's 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 dared 

Disturb the sound of silence 

Fools said I, you do not know 

Silence like a cancer grows 

Hear my words 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 

Photos 

And the people bowed and prayed 

To the neon God they made 

And the sign flashed out it's warning 

In the words that it was forming 

And the signs said, 'The words of the prophets 

Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls' 

And whispered in the sounds of silence
