[00:10.22]hello darkness my old friend
[00:13.81]I've come to talk with you again
[00:14.67]Because a vision softly creeping
[00:17.91]Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[00:22.60]And the vision that was planted
[00:26.85]In my brain still remains
[00:32.47]Within the sound of silence
[00:38.16]
[00:38.73]In restless dreams I walked along
[00:43.26]Narrow streets of cobble stone
[00:47.53]Beneath the halo of a street lamp
[00:52.03]I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[00:56.66]When my eyes were stabbed
[00:58.91]By the flash of a neon light
[01:03.48]That split the light
[01:06.71]And touched the sound of silence
[01:11.96]
[01:12.76]And in the naked light I saw
[01:17.22]Ten thousand people maybe more
[01:21.38]People talking without speaking
[01:26.09]People hearing without listening
[01:30.98]People writing songs that voices never share
[01:38.61]And no one dare
[01:42.37]Disturb the sound of silence
[01:48.19]
[01:48.54]"Fool" said I,"You do not know
[01:52.02]Silence like a cancer grows
[01:56.41]Hear my words that I might teach you
[02:01.57]Take my arms that I might reach you"
[02:05.19]But my words like silent raindrops fell
[02:15.12]And echoed in the walls of silence
[02:20.97]
[02:22.12]And the people bowed and prayed
[02:26.48]To the neon god they made
[02:30.61]And the sign flashed out its warning
[02:35.09]In the words that it was forming
[02:40.29]And the signs said "The words of the prophets
[02:42.51]are written on the subway walls
[02:47.57]And tenement halls"
[02:50.50]Whispering in the sounds of silence
